Trying to install the activerecord-sqlserver-adapter gem from  
[http://gems.rubyonrails.org](http://gems.rubyonrails.org), but it can’t be found!

I need this gem ASAP for an installation. Can anyone tell me where it  
went to? Did it change names? Some silly idea of an April Fool’s joke?

[root@exmit2 ~]# gem install activerecord-sqlserver-adapter  
–source=[http://gems.rubyonrails.org/](http://gems.rubyonrails.org/)  
Bulk updating Gem source index for: [http://gems.rubyonrails.org/](http://gems.rubyonrails.org/)  
ERROR: could not find activerecord-sqlserver-adapter locally or in a  
repository

Thanks,  
Wes

Actually, I can get the files up there from another server, but how do I  
make the “gem” command see that it’s there so that a require on it will  
work?

Where is the gem index stored locally?
