Rails - Jul 2006 - Installing flickr.rb on Dreamhost Error - HELP

I tried to install flickr.rb on my Dreamhost server, and I got an error. 
This is what I did to install it:

$> gem install flickr

I''m not sure if there are any other parameters... does anyone know why
I
got errors when trying to install this?  What does it mean when it asks 
"Install required dependency xml-simple?"


By the way, here''s the results:

[myserver]$ gem install flickr
Attempting local installation of ''flickr''
Local gem file not found: flickr*.gem
Attempting remote installation of ''flickr''

You need to run gem command under sudo

sudo gem install flickr

But I guess you have no permissions to do it on shared host. Ask you 
administrators then.
