Any suggestions on freezing bluecloth [1] into an app? It has a  
non-standard install [2], and when I used  
[http://gemsonrails.rubyforge.org/](http://gemsonrails.rubyforge.org/) to freeze it into a rails app, I get  
this on startup:

ERROR: Please update  
/home/dhaskin/workspace/bsg-1.11/vendor/gems/BlueCloth-1.0.0/init.rb  
with the require path for linked RubyGem BlueCloth  
Exiting

and I’m not completely sure how to address this.

Thanks!

`install.rb` script, or by simply copying `lib/bluecloth.rb` to a  
directory in your load path.”

Hi, you should be able to use the following within your application’s  
root  
directory:  
rake rails:freeze:gems

Good luck,

Unless I’m mistaken, that only freezes the Rails gems. Not any other  
gems. Or am I wrong?
