There seems to be a problem with downloading one's own gems from GitHub. I am using a Windows XP box and have gem 1.3.1 locally. Here's what I do -
I created a new repo in my GitHub account by the name string_more. Here's the url - http://github.com/RLGGHCourse/string_more/tree/master I then go to my project's edit page and check the 'RubyGem' box. Next, I open a bash shell in my local repository folder and type in these commands: a...@comp /e/gitlocalrepo $ mkdir string_more $ cd string_more $ mkdir lib I store a simple Ruby program string_more.rb in the folder e:/ gitlocalrepo/string_more/lib I create a text file called string_more.gemspec in the main string_more folder, as follows: Gem::Specification.new do |s| s.name = %q{string_more} s.version = '0.0.1' s.platform = 'Gem::Platform::Ruby' s.summary = %q{string_more adds useful features to the String class} s.require_paths = ["lib"] s.author = "Satish Talim" s.email = %q{[email protected]} s.homepage = %q{http://satishtalim.com/} s.has_rdoc = false s.required_ruby_version = '>= 1.8.6' end Next, I type: a...@comp /e/gitlocalrepo/string_more $ git init $ touch string_more.gemspec $ git add . $ git commit -m 'first commit' $ git remote add origin [email protected]:RLGGHCourse/string_more.git $ git push origin master When I go to - http://github.com/RLGGHCourse/string_more/tree/master I see a small red diamond icon for my gem. Note: I don't receive any message from GitHub that the gem has been built. Finally, I type in a new command window: E:\>gem sources -a http://gems.github.com http://gems.github.com added to sources E:\>gem install RLGGHCourse-string_more ERROR: could not find gem RLGGHCourse-string_more locally or in a repository E:\> I have tried all the Troubleshooting here - http://gems.github.com/ but no luck. I always keep getting the error - ERROR: could not find gem RLGGHCourse-string_more locally or in a repository What am I doing wrong. All help appreciated. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GitHub" group.
