Can not install fxri

[Ronald Fischer]

I would like to install fxri:

$ gem install fxri
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
Could not find fxri (> 0) in any repository


So I downloaded the gem from http://rubyforge.org/projects/fxri/ to some
directory, ./gem, and tried it like this:

$ gem install fxri -i gem
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
Could not find fxri (> 0) in any repository

What am I doing wrong?

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.

gem install /path/to/fxry.gem

This fails too, since fxruby is needed. I think I'll have to figure out
first, why gem installation via http does not work, otherwise it will
become too tedious to resolve all dependencies manually....

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.

Not knowingly. 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?
