I'm glad you got the problem fixed by another route, but if it comes
up again (or for the benefit of others):

Most likely you hadn't added Github as a gem repository.  The gem
naming scheme you saw, "bmabey-fakefs," is how Github names all gems
served out of its repository.  It's not necessarily a _good_ way, and
it's caused all sorts of headaches, but they stand by it due to their
principle that no single Github repo is the "authoritative" one for a
gem.

To solve this problem permanently, run this on the command line at some point:

> sudo gem sources --add http://gems.github.com

If you just want to add Github to the repo list on a case-by-case
basis, do this instead the next time you install a Github gem:

> sudo gem install bmabey-fakefs --source http://gems.github.com
