Gem Loading Error, installed from Github

Question

Update: This gem DOES install with sudo rake gems:install. The problem is with loading. For instance, when I run script/console, it throws:

no such file to load -- outoftime-noaa ...

Even though sudo rake gems:install just installed it. I'm not sure if this matter, probably does, but it throws this error twice.

I'm looking to provide users with up to date weather information in my Rails application.

I'm looking for something similar to outoftime's NOAA gem (http://github.com/outoftime/noaa/tree/master).

The reason I ask is I'm having a hell of a time getting the gem to work. If anyone here has a revelation as to what's going on, I'd appreciate the help.

I've added this to my environment config:

config.gem "outoftime-noaa", :source => "http://gems.github.com"

I've run

sudo rake gems:install

I get this error

no such file to load -- outoftime-noaa

I have the other two required gems already installed on my system. I'm using one of them (geokit) in my app.

I'm using Rails 2.3.2, Ruby 1.8.6 and Rubygems 1.3.1.

Answer 1

It doesn't look like 'outoftime-noa' is part of Rubygems; gem search -r outoftime-noa gives no results. Have you done: sudo gem sources --add http://gems.github.com ?

If so, can you install the gem manually?

Edit: I've never used config.gem (Rails has too many new features to keep track of... ;) ), but it looks like you need to specify non-standard sources, so:

 config.gem "outofime-noa", :source => "http://gems.github.com"

Does that work?

Answer 2

Try

config.gem "outoftime-noaa", :lib => "noaa", :source => "http://gems.github.com"

Most github gems need the lib specified.
