Hi,
This book is simply great.
I am running into trouble with RedCloth gem isntall. Similarly with the mislav-will_paginate.

here are the two lines in /config/environment.rb

config.gem "RedCloth", :version => ">=3.301", :source => "http://code.whytheluckystiff.net"

config.gem 'mislav-will_paginate', :version => '>2.3.2', :lib => 'will_paginate', :source => 'http://gems.github.com'

And here is the sad reply:


C:\Ruby\projects\blog>rake gems:install
(in C:/Ruby/projects/blog)
gem.bat install RedCloth --version ">= 3.301" --source http://code.whytheluckystiff.net
ERROR: http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/ does not appear to be a repository
ERROR: could not find gem RedCloth locally or in a repository

gem.bat install mislav-will_paginate --version "> 2.3.2" --source http://gems.github.com
ERROR: http://gems.github.com/ does not appear to be a repository
ERROR: could not find gem mislav-will_paginate locally or in a repository

Granted i tried to change the RedCloth address to rubyforge's but same problem.

Can anyone help?.
It sort of stalls my learning!

ah one last thing the versions are:
C:\Ruby\projects\blog>ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i386-mswin32]

C:\Ruby\projects\blog>gem -v
1.3.5

Hello,

thank you for your kind words. Regarding the errors, they are due to two events in the Ruby community:

• Why the lucky stiff, the persona behind RedCloth, decided to disappear from the community. His code is still around, but his sites are no longer active;
• GitHub stopped serving gems, in favor of GemCutter.

For RedCloth you will need to first install the gem:



And then specify the dependency in config/environment.rb:

For will_paginate, you can use:

I hope this solves the issues you've encountered.

All the best,
Antonio

Thank you for your prompt reply.

just at the console i issued the command as you adviced: but alas....

C:\Ruby>gem install RedCloth
ERROR: http://gems.rubyforge.org/ does not appear to be a repository
ERROR: could not find gem RedCloth locally or in a repository

Then it occured to me that there was a problem with our security system.
so i figured and found out our proxy.
gem install -help gave me the http-proxy switch.
i manually installed the two gems with success!

thank you again so much for this help and this great book.
