RubyGems 1.8.10 installed
Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong with the update? They also tried to remove rubigems through RVM, and then run the update again, but no luck with it.
Update: It seems that rvm was unable to start Ruby 1.9.2.
$ rvm use 1.9.2 WARN: ruby ruby-1.9.2-p290 is not installed. To install do: 'rvm install ruby-1.9.2-p290'
So, after installing 1.9.2-p290, rubygems installation completed successfully.
$ rvm use 1.9.2
Using /Users/foo/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290

It worked for me.
