Hi

config.gem ‘gemname’, :version =\> ‘\>= 1.2.1’

```
Could anybody please tell what this actually means? Suppose I have

```

in my machine version 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 of the gem What expected is it  
uses 1.2.1 But what happened is it used 1.2.2 version Is this the  
default behavoiur or something wrong

Thanks in advance  
Sijo

Well, you tell it to use a version higher OR equal to 1.2.1 … If you  
want it to use only 1.2.1 it should say:

config.gem ‘gemname’, :version =\> ‘1.2.1’

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,
