"no such file to load -- memcached" problem

Question

Hi, I'm playing with one open source project and have a problem with the "memcached".

Actually I get a "no such file to load -- memcached" error when I do a "rake db:migrate". It appears to me that I should install it somehow, but unfortunately a "gem install memcached" drops a error.

This is my console log:

D:\BitNami RubyStack projects\spot-us>rake db:migrate
(in D:/BitNami RubyStack projects/spot-us)
rake aborted!
no such file to load -- memcached

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

How can I solve the "memcached" installation problem?

Thx.
