gem install fxri works for me. However, if you want to install the gem you downloaded manually, you need to pass the path of the file, otherwise gem will still attempt to download the gem: gem install /path/to/fxry.gem I can't help you more than this, but I'm almost sure that people with more rubygems knowledge will need to know the rubygems version you use and maybe also your operating system and ruby version. If you post these informations, you'll help them helping you.

Hi, I had the same problem on Ruby 1.8.6 (2009-08-04 patchlevel 383) [i386-mingw32], and then noticed that the RUBYLIB environment variable was pointing to some dumbass location. I unset RUBYLIB and fxri loaded ok. However, the search function in fxri was broken. Different story withRuby 1.9.2. fxri crashes with a missing file (ri\_driver) After that, I gave up on fxri.

Perhaps you're behind a proxy or firewall. You can check your Internet Explorer / Firefox / Chrome settings. If that is the case, you need to provide the URL to gem install: gem help install and look for --http-proxy details. > **···** > > On Jan 18, 3:58 am, Ronald Fischer \ wrote: > > > Stefano Crocco wrote: > > \> gem install /path/to/fxry.gem > > > > This fails too, since fxruby is needed.

I have (at home) a LAN with a router, which goes via DSL to my Internet Service Provider. I think the router (I haven't installed the hardware myself) has some "poor-man's firewall" feature built in. Is there a specific port which I would need to open for gem to work? Ronald > **···** > > -- > Posted via [http://www.ruby-forum.com/\](http://www.ruby-forum.com/%5C).
