Hello, My command gives this error.

root@RR:/home/rails/sampleapp# gem install nokogiri -v ‘1.6.6.4’

ERROR: Error installing nokogiri: invalid gem: package is corrupt, exception while verifying: undefined method `size’ for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) in /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1/cache/nokogiri-1.6.6.4.gem

tried several ways to fix this but could not get it right. I am on the DigitalOcean 1GB RAM plan.
