Hi, folks –

I’m trying to deploy my first rails app, but I’m having a problem on my  
local machine … everytime I try to install mongrel\_cluster, this is  
what  
happens:

its\_str\_sm\_1bt:~/sites/rails/currents Pete$ sudo gem install mongrel  
mongrel\_cluster  
Bulk updating Gem source index for: [http://gems.rubyforge.org](http://gems.rubyforge.org)  
Building native extensions. This could take a while…

Install required dependency mongrel? [Yn] y  
ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::GemNotFoundException)  
Could not find mongrel (\>= 1.0.1) in any repository

I’m using OS X… anyone have any thoughts?

Try it again. It was probably just a server offline somewhere.

Try to run “ruby -v” – mongrel 1.0.1 needs ruby 1.8.4 or higher. Make  
sure you have the correct version.
