Question

Rest-Client Installation not working properly...

Answer 1

A:

Default gem source has been changed from http://gems.rubyforge.org to http://rubygems.org

Remove rubyforge from your gem sources by doing so

gem source --remove http://gems.rubyforge.org/

Add rubygems to your gem sources by doing so

gem source --add http://rubygems.org

Now when you do gem sources then you will not have http://gems.rubyforge.org and http://rubygems.org should be present.

Still the error persists saying:Error fetching http://rubygems.org: SocketError: getaddrinfo: temporary failure in name resolution. (http://rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz)Is it a temporary error due to a fault on the server side or something else?

looks like you are not able to access rubygems.org See if you can ping to it. Are you behind some firewall?

`gems.rubyforge.org`, `rubygems.org` and `gemcutter.org` now all point to the same IP address, so it doesn't really matter which ones you have in your `~/.gemrc`, although `rubygems.org` is the correct one, the other two are only for backwards-compatibility and may be deactivated in the future. `rubygems.org` had some troubles recently, maybe it was just down while you were trying it?

@Jorg W Mittag very true, @Apoorv If you are not able to install the gem using `gem install` command due to issues with rubygems.org then you can clone or download the gem source and build/install the gem yourself locally.
