I cant update gem more than 1.3.5 on Ubuntu

I try many ways to update 1.use ruby setup.rb in /gem1.3.7dir did not work show text NOTE:

http://rubygems.org is now the default source for downloading gems.

You may have sources set via ~/.gemrc, so you should replace http://gems.rubyforge.org with http://rubygems.org

http://gems.rubyforge.org will continue to work for the forseeable future.

New features: . . .

2.Try RVM cant connect to server to download 3. .gem file I do not know what should i do with this file ???

                                 Anyway to install updated gem ???
