I think it's really up to the gem authors to name their gems appropriately. I feel their pain, though. I know it drives me batty when I try to install "net-ldap", for example, and it fails because I forgot the gem name is "ruby-net-ldap". Good thing there's a "ruby" in the gem name - wouldn't want to accidentally install a Perl module, eh? ;) The only solution I have is to use "gem search --remote ldap", for example. You can usually figure out the "real" name from the resulting list. Regards, Dan This communication is the property of Qwest and may contain confidential or privileged information.
