I guess it’s the 0.0.0 version number (it’s not \> 0). This works:

$ gem install slave --version ‘0.0.0’ --remote  
Attempting remote installation of ‘slave’  
Successfully installed slave-0.0.0  
Installing RDoc documentation for slave-0.0.0…

yes! i just hadn’t had the time to figure out why the first release  
didn’t  
‘gem install’ and wanted to fix it before releasing the next version.  
now  
that it’s been taken care of…

look for a release soon.
