Problem installing dependecy log4r for ruby-net-nntp

Ruby
1

To be able to interact with a news server (NNTP) I try to install
ruby-net-nntp. (Linux)

This is what happenned:
~]# gem install ruby-net-nntp
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org
Install required dependency log4r? [Yn] y
ERROR: While executing gem … (OpenURI::HTTPError)
403 Forbidden

Installing and upgrading other gems (rails, etc.) was no problem.

Is there a solution for this problem or is there another way to interact
with a news server?

TIA

Like a charm. Thanks!

But… There was something wrong. Should I report something to someone?

I like to contribute something. (Since Ruby, Rails and Aptana/RadRails
gave me so much…)

One of the mirrors was probably busted. I don’t think you can easily
figure out which one though since that code is buried in open-uri.rb.

I’ll look into it whenever (if ever) I leave my Ruby-noob-status behind.
