Subject: Re: Need help to install "linguistics" gem

I'm still getting the same error.

I downloaded the "Linguistics-1.0.5.gem.tar" file on my desktop.
Then, I double-clicked and expanded and now there is a new directory
"Linguistics-1.0.5.gem" on my desktop.
Next, I launch Terminal and `cd` to desktop. `cd ~/Desktop`.

Then, I run

sudo gem install Linguistics-1.0.5.gem

The error I get is:

ERROR:  could not find gem Linguistics-1.0.5.gem locally or in a repository


I wonder where gem is searching locally. I may need to place  the .gem
directory somewhere specified.

I ran `gem environment` and here's output.
