Use svn and rollback a few times and find a good revision: [http://bs.techno-weenie.net/!history/2660/plugins/gems?stop\_revision=0](http://bs.techno-weenie.net/!history/2660/plugins/gems?stop_revision=0) 1177 should be fine for rails 1.1.6 [http://bs.techno-weenie.net/!source/1177/plugins/gems/init.rb](http://bs.techno-weenie.net/!source/1177/plugins/gems/init.rb) – Rick O.
