I didn’t know where else to ask this so please point me in the right  
direction if there is a better place.

I’m trying to install a gem, Ruby-MemCache from a local file. Here is  
what happens.

test:~/tmp# gem install IO-Reactor  
Successfully installed io-reactor-0.05  
Installing ri documentation for io-reactor-0.05…  
Installing RDoc documentation for io-reactor-0.05…  
test:~/tmp# gem install Ruby-MemCache-0.0.4.gem  
ERROR: Error installing gem Ruby-MemCache-0.0.4.gem[.gem]:  
Ruby-MemCache requires IO-Reactor \> 0.0.0

As you can see the dependency is installed and is \> 0.0.0  
Anyone have any ideas on this one?
