Forum: Redcloth Problems 4.2 installing on Windows?

I keep an old Windows machine around for making sure that RedCloth
Win32 binary gems install.  When I try gem update RedCloth, it just
installs 4.1.9.  Did I do something wrong in the gemspec?  Would
someone else with a windows machine try it and let me know how it goes?

Has the gem propagated to the mirrors?

I think so.  Tried again a day later and still got the same thing.

C:\>gem install RedCloth -v 4.2

Hmmmm. There's been too much happening on the Rubygems list of late
for me to keep up with changes, but that explicit version request and
results look like a bug in rubgems to my uninformed eye.  I suppose
updating your rubygems doesn't help?

I'm seeing this:

What does  (I'm not *sure* this is right, but from gem install --help):

  C:\>gem install RedCloth -v 4.2 --platform=x86-mswin32-60

do for you?
