I haven''t quite figured out how to do this - maybe I am overthinking the problem. I want to install the ec2onrails gem. But not the one that I get when I type sudo gem install ec2onrails I want a specific one that somehow has done patches to. It is a fork of the original. I thought I could do something like: sudo gem install ec2onrails --source git://github.com/skippy/ec2onrails.git but I get ERROR: While executing gem ... (OptionParser::InvalidArgument) invalid argument: --source git://github.com/skippy/ec2onrails.git Any ideas? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Prepend the username. So in this case: gem install skippy-ec2onrails And make sure gems.github.com is a source. --Jeremy On Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 9:55 AM, phil <phil-o0Q4Q1ys/oVBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > I haven''t quite figured out how to do this - maybe I am overthinking > the problem. > > I want to install the ec2onrails gem.

I like this solution *a lot* more.
