title: Installing a forked github gem of Toto
body: <p>Ok, this is probably simple, but I'm having a bit of a pain trying to get it to work.</p>
  
  <p>So I was using the gem "Toto", which I installed using "sudo gem install toto", but I recently found a fork of the gem I would rather use here <a href="https://github.com/evaryont/toto" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/evaryont/toto</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I tried specifying the gem url with --source, but I guess github doesn't support gems anymore aside from "<a href="http://gems.github.com/list.html" rel="nofollow">the list</a>".  I then tried downloading the forked source and running "rake build" and "rake install" which seemed to create a gem just fine, but when I plug it back into the same application which comes with the gem, it fails to load.</p>
  
  <p>It dies like this.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    computer:myblog User$ thin start -R config.ru
  /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- toto (LoadError)
      from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'

  <p>Sample Toto Application</p>
  
  <pre><code>git clone git://github.com/cloudhead/dorothy.git myblog
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm also a little discouraged about building the gem like this because I'm hosting on Heroku, and I would like to make sure that I can use this gem on there as well.  I suppose I may have to unpack this gem and commit it to my source?</p>

  <h2>Update</h2>
  
  <p>I also tried using bundler with the following in my Gemfile, and I get the same error, would this mean its just an incompatibility in the sample code and the forked gem?</p>
  
  <pre><code>gem "toto", :git =&gt; "git://github.com/evaryont/toto.git"
  </code></pre>
