You can run a server with gem_server as well, but you probably don't want to do that if it's a permanent server.
As for your problem with index_gem_repository - did you pull down the whole "1.8" dir? For example, you should have copied "/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/" to some dir on your machine. This is the "repository". Under this directory, there will be a "gems" directory (which --help mentions), and also specifications, cache, and doc (and a source_cache file). You need to pass this "1.8" dir (or whatever you renamed it to) as the -d parameter. -- Chad On 3/11/07, Steve Conover <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Anyone run into this?
