title: Bypassing rack version error using Rails 2.3.5
body: <p>I'm currently on Dreamhost attempting to run a Rails 2.3.5 app.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the situation, Dreamhost's servers have Rails 2.2.2 installed. Of course, I can't update a shared host's rails version, so I froze my Rails in vendor. Rails 2.3.5 requires the rack v1.0.1 gem. Dreamhost uses the rack v1.0.0 gem. So when I try to define:</p>
  
  <pre><code>config.gem "rack", :version =&gt; "1.0.1"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>can't activate rack (~&gt; 1.0.1, runtime) for [], already activated rack-1.0.0 for []
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So what I really need to do is bypass my app's request to use 1.0.1, and use Dreamhost's 1.0.0. Does anyone know how to configure this? Is it even possible? Thanks for the help.</p>
