Unable to install Ruby Gems 3.0.3

I am trying to re-install Ruby 1.9.3 on a Raspberry Pi via RVM due to a dependency error by Logstash and getting the below error. Anyone else had a similar issue:

Any suggestions? I am not really familiar with Ruby or RVM so any help is appreciated.

What worked for me was downgrading to an older version of rvm.

curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s 1.28.0

Was running on same issue. You need to change the ruby gem version to 2.7.3 default its taking 3.0.8

  • rvm_rubygems_version=2.7.3 rvm reinstall ruby-1.9.3

It worked for me

Ruby 1.9.3-p551 was released in November 2014, it's possible that compatibility has been broken at this point with the latest rubygems.

Try installing older versions of rubygems, I would start with 2.4.4 because it aligns well with the release of Ruby 1.9.3 but I would also try upgrading to anything 2.X cause one should expect support to last a few years.

The project's changelog does mention removal of compatibility code for 1.9.2.
