Installing gems on InstantRails   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #45 of 107 |
I've installed InstantRails and a Windows XP system and have workd my
way through chapter 6 of "Agile Web Development with Rails".
Everythings worked great so far and now I want to strike out a little
on my own. I really want to try Geoffrey Grosenbach's sparkline
graphs. Since I'm on windows and don't have the luxury of sudo, I get
the gem file from rubyforge...

I try:

gem install sparklines-0.1.4.gem

and I install says:

sparklines requres hoe

so I go to rubyforge and get hoe.

I try:

gem install hoe-1.1.6.gem

and I install says:

hoe requires rubyforge

Now I'm stuck. I can't find a gem called rubyforge-?.?.?.gem

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

-Phil
