Error install gem money

Hi, I've been searching all over the internet the past few days to try to solve this issue. Everytime I try to run gem install with anything i get the error

Could not find a valid gem 'money' (>= 0) in any repository

I pinged the server and received 100% packet lost. What do I do?

thanks for your help in advance.

Hey Ronald Quan that's a strange error. It seems that rubygems can't connect. Try doing the following:

gem update --system

Then give it another shot.

Hi Jason, thanks for responding so fast. I just tried to do what you showed me and this time I received this error... ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError) too many connection resets (http://production.s3.rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)

Was Safari able to download the file? If so, can you try doing a gem install again?

I know this is a year late but.... I just had a similar problem installing the money gem and it turns out it is because the rubygems.org site, where the gem would be downloaded from is down. Maybe that was the problem a year ago too...
