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.
