The last few lines of the help read: Generator gems are also available: 1. gem list generator -s http://gems.rubyonrails.org 2. gem install login_generator -s http://gems.rubyonrails.org 3. script/generate login Problems: * "gem list -s http://gems.rubyonrails.org" doesn''t do what you expect. -s is not a valid flag; you need --source. The full correct command is gem list -r -s http://gems.rubyonrails.org The -r is necessary to make gems look remotely. I''ve raised this issue with RubyGems developers; --source should be sufficient, and a -s abbreviation of --source would be nice. [I''m ignoring the "generator" argument for now; see next point.] * The command "gem list generator" lists gems whose name _starts with_ "generator", so it will not show the "login_generator" gem. Use the "search" command. * Even if it _did_ show the login_generator gem, there''s no such gem on that server to show! Summary: * Change the command to gem search -r --source http://gems.rubyonrails.org * Put the login_generator gem on that server! Sorry for the long-windedness. Gavin
