Hi,
I am trying to install a paperclip gem using the command
`gem install paperclip-2.2.0.gem` . This doesn't work for me.. it keeps giving me the error..
mohnish@mohnish-desktop:~/Downloads/Important_backups/new_gems/paperclip$ gem install paperclip-2.2.0.gem ERROR: While executing gem ... (Zlib::GzipFile::Error) not in gzip format
I checked my gem sources and it shows:-
mohnish@mohnish-desktop:~/Downloads/Important_backups/new_gems/paperclip$ gem sources *** CURRENT SOURCES ***
http://rubygems.org/ mohnish@mohnish-desktop:~/Downloads/Important_backups/new_gems/paperclip$
I have a feeling this doesn't work as I am behind a proxy( working from office ). I am not sure if this is the reason.. can anybody who reads this , please confirm the same.
When I manually downloaded the gems and tried to install the same with the extra **`-l`**(its a minus l(el) and not a minus one as it looks like). It worked. Is it that "-l" takes the gems from the local box , from the location where they are installed/present..? :-

I am really not sure if this gem is fully installed successfully... . I tried to check the same in my rails app using the IRB and this is what I got... I would like to also add that I am making use of RVM currently and I keep switching between versions `1.8.7` and `1.9.2` :-

I have added a require 'paperclip' in my environment.rb and my post.rb model.
Is there any other way , I can check if this gem or any other gem for that matter is successfully installed or not..?
Kindly guide me on this.
Thank you...
Thanks for your inputs.
