ruby ubuntu rubygems wati automation testing tool watir in the newest version of Ubuntu.
I did a sudo apt-get install ruby to get the latest version of ruby, then I installed Rubygems and tried installing watir, but i'm getting this error. It's using Ruby 1.8.7
I've also tried removing ruby and ruby gems and reinstalling but the error message still happens.
Can anyone tell me whats wrong?
