Hi folks, did someone of you experience this as well?
$ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-6.1 arnie 1.7.32(0.274/5/3) 2014-08-13 23:06 x86_64 Cygwin $ ruby --version ruby 2.0.0p481 (2014-05-08) [x86_64-cygwin] $ gem --version 2.4.1 $ gem list -l *** LOCAL GEMS *** io-console (0.4.2) json (1.8.1) minitest (4.7.5) psych (2.0.5) rake (10.3.2) rdoc (4.1.1) $ gem update Updating installed gems ERROR: While executing gem ...
