I do:

[root@www admin]# gem install maxime-ruby-pg-for-ruby-1.9.1rc2  
ERROR: could not find gem maxime-ruby-pg-for-ruby-1.9.1rc2 locally or  
in a repository  
[root@www admin]#

my sources are:

[root@www admin]# gem sources  
\*\*\* CURRENT SOURCES \*\*\*

[http://gems.rubyforge.org/](http://gems.rubyforge.org/)  
[http://gems.github.com](http://gems.github.com)  
[http://gems.github.com](http://gems.github.com)  
[http://gems.github.com](http://gems.github.com)

Driving me crazy
