When I try to untar it with this command: tar -xvf /Users/me/Desktop/wxruby-1.9.4-universal-darwin.gem.tar I get the error: data.tar.gz tar: Read 3501 bytes from /Users/autie/Desktop/wxruby-1.9.4-universal-darwin.gem.tar tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now And even if I did untar it, I don't know how to install it. I install a remote gem like this: $ gem install -r wxruby If it is a local file, do I just cd to the directory the file is in and type: $ gem install wxruby ??? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
