Rails - May 2011 - Paperclip Gem Successfully Installed? If yes its doesn't seem to detect via IRB..

Hi,

I am trying to install a paperclip gem using the command

`gem install paperclip-2.2.0.gem` . This doesn''t work for me.. it keeps
giving me the error..

    mohnish@mohnish-desktop:~/Downloads/Important_backups/new_gems/paperclip$
gem install paperclip-2.2.0.gem
    ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Zlib::GzipFile::Error)
        not in gzip format


I checked my gem sources and it shows:-


    mohnish@mohnish-desktop:~/Downloads/Important_backups/new_gems/paperclip$
gem sources
    *** CURRENT SOURCES ***

    http://rubygems.org/
    mohnish@mohnish-desktop:~/Downloads/Important_backups/new_gems/paperclip$


I have a feeling this doesn''t work as I am behind a proxy( working from
office ).
I am not sure if this is the reason.. can anybody who reads this ,
please confirm the same.

When I manually downloaded the gems and tried to install the same with
the extra **`-l`**(its a minus l(el) and not a minus one as it looks
like). It worked. Is it that "-l" takes the gems from the local box ,
from the location where they are installed/present..? :-

    mohnish@mohnish-desktop:~/Downloads/Important_backups/new_gems/paperclip$
gem install paperclip-2.2.0.gem -l

I am really not sure if this gem is fully installed successfully... . I
tried to check the same in my rails app using the IRB and this is what I
got... I would like to also add that I am making use of RVM currently
and I keep switching between versions `1.8.7` and `1.9.2` :-

I have added a require ''paperclip'' in my environment.rb and my
post.rb
model.

Is there any other way , I can check if this gem or any other gem for
that matter is successfully installed or not..?

Kindly guide me on this.

Thank you...

Thanks for your inputs.
