Question

I’m attempting to install s3nuke. From an up to date Mac OS with up to date ruby and gems.

First I cloned the git repository to my /var/src/ (now /var/src/s3nuke).

The install on the README is simple enough:

gem install s3nuke

Response:

ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 's3nuke' (>= 0) in any repository

Most help on this error assume I’m behind some proxy. I’m not. I can ping rubygems or rubyforge just fine. I can update successfully and even install other gems. Here are some examples:

$ gem -v
1.8.24
$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2012-02-08 patchlevel 358) [universal-darwin12.0]
$ gem install rubygems-update
Successfully installed rubygems-update-1.8.24
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for rubygems-update-1.8.24...
Installing RDoc documentation for rubygems-update-1.8.24...
$ update_rubygems
RubyGems 1.8.24 installed
$ sudo gem update --system
Latest version currently installed. Aborting.

So let’s try some other gems:

$ gem install eventmachine
Fetching: eventmachine-1.0.0.gem (100%)
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
Successfully installed eventmachine-1.0.0
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for eventmachine-1.0.0...
Installing RDoc documentation for eventmachine-1.0.0...
$ gem install clamp
Fetching: clamp-0.5.0.gem (100%)
Successfully installed clamp-0.5.0
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for clamp-0.5.0...
Installing RDoc documentation for clamp-0.5.0...

So I’m up to date, and can install other gems. But s3nuke still won’t budge.

$ gem install s3nuke
ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 's3nuke' (>= 0) in any repository

I even added another gem source (http://gems.rubyforge.org/), but still no luck.

Can you help?

Here’s my env:

$ gem env

  - REMOTE SOURCES:

I’d try to install manually, but the s3nuke git repository doesn’t include a s3nuke.gem.

What do you recommend?

if you use bundler, you can add to your Gemfile next line:

gem "s3nuke", :git => "git://github.com/SFEley/s3nuke.git"

Or you can install with specific_install gem

gem install specific_install
gem specific_install -l http://github.com/SFEley/s3nuke.git
