As of RubyGems 0.8.0, library stubs are no longer needed. Searching $LOAD_PATH for stubs to optionally delete (may take a while)... ...done. No library stubs found.

No longer maintaining these ports.

You need to run port with sudo (sudo port install rb-rubygems).

If it is what you did, please:

• reopen the bug
• run sudo port clean rb-rubygems && sudo port install rb-rubygems -dv
• post the output here.

Debug output

[justin@…]

I had the same problem, and have run sudo port clean rb-rubygems && sudo port install rb-rubygems -dv and attached the result. I now find that the gem command is working. I can't reopen the bug - the option is not available on the page.
