如何在ruby 1.8.7系统上安装回形针宝石？

Question

I've got an app written for ruby 1.8.7 / rails 2.3.15 and I am stuck with paperclip. When I try to install the gem I get:

> ~$ gem install paperclip
ERROR:  Error installing paperclip:
i18n requires Ruby version >= 1.9.3.

When I install a 1.8.7 compatible version of i18n (0.6.x) I get the same error.

I saw some answer here > paperclip 2.7.0 on ruby 1.8.7 , but this one is a few steps ahead (he's got problems with activesupport) and the answer (build the gem yourself) is way beyond my abilities.

Can anyone suggest a viable solution (upgrading the app to 1.9.3 is out of the question)?

Answer 1

I figured it out myself: Just use the -f option with gem install and it will install it regardless of dependencies. Thanks everyone. And, yes, I know the version is old and outdated and insecure, etc. Who cares, it works :)
