This is a strange error, but I am getting this error on all of my  
servers:

server1:~# gem install RedCloth  
Bulk updating Gem source index for: [http://gems.rubyforge.org/](http://gems.rubyforge.org/)  
ERROR: could not find RedCloth locally or in a repository

No idea why this is happening. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix  
this?

Thanks.

Seems to be working here. It even compiles straight up using mingw and  
the devkit, which thing was surprising to me 🙂
