Installing flickr.rb on Dreamhost Error - HELP

[hreyaatnh]

I tried to install flickr.rb on my Dreamhost server, and I got an error.
This is what I did to install it:

$> gem install flickr

I’m not sure if there are any other parameters… does anyone know why I
got errors when trying to install this? What does it mean when it asks
“Install required dependency xml-simple?”

By the way, here’s the results:

[myserver]$ gem install flickr
Attempting local installation of ‘flickr’
Local gem file not found: flickr*.gem

You need to run gem command under sudo

sudo gem install flickr

But I guess you have no permissions to do it on shared host. Ask you
administrators then.
