I''m trying to install the Login Generator gem ignoring its dependencies. Login Generator obviously requires rails, but that is already installed as a debian package on my system. Therefore I''m telling gem to force dependencies like this gem install login_generator --force --remote --force --source http://dist.leetsoft.com Unfortunately, it doesn''t work: Attempting remote installation of ''login_generator'' Install required dependency rails? [Yn] n ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::DependencyError) Required dependency rails not installed Now, is this a bug in gem or am I misunderstanding how forcing dependencies is supposed to work?
