how do you install a local gem?

Hi,

I downloaded the file:

wxruby-1.9.4-universal-darwin.gem.tar

How do I install that? When I try to untar it with this command:

tar -xvf /Users/me/Desktop/wxruby-1.9.4-universal-darwin.gem.tar

I get the error:

data.tar.gz
tar: Read 3501 bytes from
/Users/autie/Desktop/wxruby-1.9.4-universal-darwin.gem.tar
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

And even if I did untar it, I don't know how to install it. I install a
remote gem like this:

$ gem install -r wxruby

If it is a local file, do I just cd to the directory the file is in and
type:

$ gem install wxruby

???

In linux, you simply do:

gem install gem_file.gem

What I find strange is the name of the file you downloaded, since the
extension should be .gem, not .gem.tar. Did you get it from rubyforge? From
the rubyforge wxruby page, I could download a file called

wxruby-1.9.4-universal-darwin.gem

Of course, being on linux, I can't try to install it.

I hope this helps

Thanks for the response. This is the file I downloaded:

http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/30865/wxruby-1....

I think OS X automatically unzips a file after I download it producing:

/Users/me/Desktop/wxruby-1.9.4-universal-darwin.gem.tar

This seems even more strange. The file wxruby-1.9.4.tar.gz is not the gem
version, so, even if the file was automatically unzipped, it should be called
wxruby-1.9.4.tar

If you want to use rubygems, you should download this file:
http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/30889/wxruby-1.9.4-universal-...

then use

gem install wxruby-1.9.4-universal-darwin.gem

Whoops. I went to this page:

http://rubyforge.org/frs/?g...

and I downloaded:

wxruby-1.9.4-universal-darwin.gem

That hit my Desktop as:

wxruby-1.9.4-universal-darwin.gem.tar

and then I had the problems outlined in my first post.

I recall an article on this recently (I believe from the Apple Developer
Connection). Apparently, due to some form of server oddness, Safari
seems to tack on spurious .tar and .gz extensions. You should be able to
simple rename the file, removing the .tar, and install as normal.

Ok, I renamed the file, but I don't know how to "install as normal"
because I've never installed a local gem. When I try:

$ gem install /Users/me/Desktop/wxruby-1.9.4-universal-darwin.gem

I get:

ERROR: could not find
/Users/me/Desktop/wxruby-1.9.4-universal-darwin.gem locally or in a
repository


And when I try:

$ gem install wxruby-1.9.4-universal-darwin.gem

I get:

ERROR: could not find wxruby-1.9.4-universal-darwin.gem locally or in a
repository

I was at the Desktop directory when I tried that:

~/Desktop$ gem install wxruby-1.9.4-universal-darwin.gem

try either

'gem install wxruby-1.9.4-universal-darwin.gem'

or

'gem install wxruby -l -v 1.9.4'

To be sure, could you output the listing of your desktop? (You're sure
there's a file there with that exact name? Tab-completed it, did you?)
