An error occurred while installing Starling with Gem install: http://gems.rubyforge.org/does not appear to be a rep

Starling is an open-source Message Queue Server written in Ruby. For more information, see:

Http://www.ooso.net/archives/506

 

The following exception occurred when installing Starling for the server today. Briefly describe the solution.

 

When you execute gem install memcache-client Starling, the following error occurs:

Error: http://gems.rubyforge.org/does not appear to be a rep <br/> error: cocould not find gem MySQL locally or in a repository 

 

The reason is that the great GFW shielded http://gems.rubyforge.org.

 

There are two solutions:

1. Go to the http://rubyforge.org to find the corresponding gem file download, and then perform local installation.

2. Use a proxy for installation:

Gem install -- http-proxy http: // 61.7.241.18: 3128 memcache-client Starling 

The agent is successfully installed. The proxy address can be found here: http://www.cnproxy.com/
