Installation issues

[Gords]

Hi,

I am very new to Ruby and am trying to get Cucumber up and running.
Unfortunately when I issue the command "gem install cucumber" I get
one of two messages returned depending on my HTTP_PROXY settings.

With a blank HTTP_PROXY I get a message:

P:\>gem install cucumber
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)
No connection could be made because the target machine actively
refused it.
- connect(2)(Errno::ECONNREFUSED)

With my proxy server settings set as "http://
myname:mypas...@xxproxy.xxdomain.co.uk:port" I get the following:

P:\>gem install cucumber
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteSourceException)
HTTP Response 407

I have installed quite a few gems by downloading them from RubyForge
with no issue. Can I download the Cucumber gem locally to avoid this
problem?

Thanks in advance,

Gordon

From here: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=797&release_id=41387

In the near future, new releases will not show up on Rubyforge - only
on Gemcutter.org. At Gemcutter, gems are hosted on Amazon S3 and I
don't know if there are any direct download links.

The gemcutter and rubygems forums can probably help you with any proxy
and gem related issues.

Thanks very much Aslak, I've downloaded the gem. Hopfully this will
help me along. If not, I'll go to the forums you suggest!

Hi, Aslak,

It looks like you can download from gemcutter
(http://gemcutter.org/gems/cucumber). This is an important capability
to maintain, as many corporate firewalls block 'gem install'.

Oh, shoot! My mistake. I thought the link at the version number was a
download link.

Hmmm... I'm not sure how to proceed, but I do know that it's importing
that there is a download link.
