Aloha All, I have downloaded many gems in .gem and .tar format from Rubyforge to my dir /usr/local/src/gems/. However, I got the following error below when executing "gem install mongrel-1.1.5.gem" or any other gems from the dir above. "ERROR: could not find gem mongrel-1.1.5.gem locally or in a repository" I''ve notice that within the .gem folder there are two files (data.tar.gz and metadata.gz). Hope that helps. Here is my system layout: Mac OS 10.5.5 client stock Dir: /usr/local/ /usr/local/src/gems/all_the_download_gems Installed: Ruby (1.8.7-p72) and Rubygems (1.3.1) to /usr/local/ Please help or point me in the right direction on HOWTO install a download gem from a local directory. Much mahalo in advance. -Tdub --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
