Vagrant problem in OSX (Ruby Gem deprecated warnings)

Question

I'm trying to get Vagrant set up on OSX to manage my VMs. I have followed the instructions on the site, however when I get to 'vagrant up' I get the following output (it sets up the VM but then automatically destroys it) - is this related to the Vagrant/Virtual Box versions?:

Answer 1

The warnings are from the latest version of rubygems, which vagrant requires. You can get rid of the warnings by running the commands from this answer:

How do I fix Rubygems recent deprecation warning?

Additionally, the top warnings about SourceIndex and all that are fixed as of Vagrant 0.7.5.

So if you run gem pristine --all in addition to upgrading Vagrant, all your deprecations will disappear!
