Hi,

I’m new in using gem, and have a problem with dependences.  
I try to install RoR, but one of gems appear broken. Does Gem has an  
option “–install-without” or similar? I see there is one option to  
“–force” install, but I want the other dependences to be included.

You can ignore all dependencies or none of them. You can’t pick.

gem dep will tell you what dependencies a gem has.
