Hi, what platform are you on? I’m Mac OS X and you’ll need to do something like this:

sudo gem install mislav-will_paginate --source http://gems.github.com

Good luck,

Here's something you might want to consider.

Create a gem configuration named: ~/.gemrc

Here's the contents of mine (NOTE: the "---" line is part of the file):

Make sure you have gems.github.com set as a source

# list all current sources (http://gems.rubyforge.org/ is the only one set by default) $ gem sources

# if you don't see gems.github.com, add it $ gem sources -a http://gems.github.com

Then you should be able to install mislav-will_paginate

Just to be clear, your ":version => '~> x.x.x'" clause that you removed had an actual version number and not x's, right?

Check outhttp://www.rubygems.org/read/chapter/1for details on what's going on here.

It's working now. Thanks to all who helped. I especially appreciate the reference. While the help is great - and go me going - knowledge is going to help me not have to ask dumb questions.

Thanks again -- Posted viahttp://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Just to be clear, your ":version => '~> x.x.x'" clause that you removed had an actual version number and not x's, right?

Here's the line from an old app. (It would be a config.gem line for Rails 2.x and include the :source and :lib keys like Billie D. and others have noted.)

# will_paginate: 3.0 will not be backward-compatible, 2.3.2 made a break with the past # 2.3.6 works, 2.3.11 does NOT due to a change related to an # ActionView::Base.respond_to?() that incorrectly selects behavior for # this Rails 1.2.2 app. It probably makes it safe for all 2.x versions. gem 'mislav-will_paginate', '~>2.1', '>2.3.2', '=2.3.6'

Particularly if you user will_paginate on an older Rails application, you might run into this problem. It is also a good example of how to use version specifications. Initially, only the first two were present with the first comment line to explain. When 2.3.11 broke the app, the version was pinned to the one that was known to work, but the first two specs deserve a bit of explanation:

   ~>2.1 means, roughly, "compatible with 2.1" and is equivalent            to ">=2.1,<3". This covers the "3.0 will not be            backward-compatible" part

   >2.3.2 means just what you'd think, past 2.3.2 and covers            the "2.3.2 made a break with the past" part of the explanation.            So 2.3.2.w, 2.3.x, 2.4.y or 3.z would do            fine (where x>2, w,y,z are anything)

Yes, that is correct. In my environment.rb file it is listed as :version => '~> 2.2.3' but I removed that hash key so there is no reference to a version number.

HTH!
