I have created a simple gem for merb that will let me run annotate models as a rake task. Anyway, it works fine when I install the gem to the system. But, when I try to install it to the gems directory I have problems. Is there a trick to this? Assuming I''m in Merb.root $ gem install ~/merb_annotate_models/pkg/merb_annotate_models-0.0.2.gem -i gems --ignore-dependencies It puts the files in the gems dir as it should, but it says it can''t be found when I do a simple dependency on it. I''m assuming I''m missing something, any hints? Thanks
