Hi,

I want to run railscasts to see how Ryan did the code. So I downloaded  
the code from [GitHub - ryanb/railscasts-episodes: NOT MAINTAINED. See README.](http://github.com/ryanb/railscasts-episodes/tree/master). I  
need to install RedCloth. It seems to be required for railscasts. So I  
did run

> sudo gem install RedCloth --source [http://code.whytheluckystiff.net](http://code.whytheluckystiff.net)

But

> rake gems  
> says  
> no such file to load – RedCloth  
> [… many errors …]  
> [] RedCloth \>= 3.301

I = Installed  
F = Frozen  
(See [http://pastie.org/225771](http://pastie.org/225771) for full error messages).

So how do I install it correctly?

Thanks,  
Martin

sorry, the url is [GitHub - ryanb/railscasts: railscasts.com in open source (outdated).](http://github.com/ryanb/railscasts/tree/master)

I set a symlink in

# cd /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/RedCloth-3.301/lib/

# ln -s redcloth.rb RedCloth.rb

Now I can start the server. Is this the correct way?
