How do you update rubygems under rvm when ree is your default vm (on Snow Leopard)? I am doing:

$ rvm ree gem update --system

This results in things looking like everything went fine:

Updating RubyGems
Updating rubygems-update
Successfully installed rubygems-update-1.3.7
Updating RubyGems to 1.3.7
Installing RubyGems 1.3.7
RubyGems 1.3.7 installed

[...]

RubyGems installed the following executables:
        /Users/douglassellers/.rvm/rubies/ree-1.8.7-2010.02/bin/gem

but when I run gem --version it still says 1.3.5. Doing a which gem points at ree version of gem.

Anyone know how to get rubygems to update with RVM?

rvm rubygems ruby

It is an unusual problem. If it is not yet resolved, consider using

rvm --default use ree
which ruby
which gem

this should show you if you are in the right version.
install gems either using rvm or directly.
