Install Ruby Gems

When I run Ruby commands like

gem install heroku

or

gem update --system

I get a warning

ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'heroku' (>= 0) in any repository
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)
Errno::ECONNREFUSED: No connection could be made because the target machine
actively refused it. - connect(2) (http://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)

I looked at several related posts, most of which suggest network issues; I turned off all antivirus programs and firewalls, but no luck. Please note that others on the same network do not face these problems. I am puzzled by how to proceed.

Old post, but it might help someone else. Specify your proxy server. This seems to work though the http_proxy environment variable is already set:

gem install heroku --http-proxy http://yourproxyserver:port
