$ gem install rails failing. Any workaround?

I'm having problems installing Rails on OS X Lion for some reason...

Installing under RVM...

$ gem install rails
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)
    bad response Forbidden 403 (http://production.cf.rubygems.org/gems/rdoc-3.12.gem)

$ gem environment

Anyone seen this? Know of a way to get it to work?

Actually, it seemed to be hanging up specifically on rdoc on my system. So I downloaded the gem to my desktop and installed it with...

$ gem install --local ~/Desktop/rdoc-3.12.gem

Then the Rails install was able to complete after that.

Looks like temporary problems with rubygems servers.
I have troubles updating my gems right now.
Just try again after some time, from few minutes to few hours.
