Invalid gems install rails ???

I keep getting invalid gem when i try to install rails??

$sudo gem install rails -v=2.1.2

With ActivRecord, ActiveSupport they all give problems when I download the gems with lynx and install them with:

$sudo gem install --local activerecord-2.1.2.gem

It does install but it kinda sucks does anybody know a solution. I just wanna try out redmine, but it seems rails app tend to break easy even with a minor update in framework

Could the correct CL syntax be

$sudo gem install rails -v 2.1.2

without the equal sign?
Or maybe try without the version if you don't mind using 2.2

Redmine does not support higher then 2.1.2... when I delete the files and use:

$sudo gem install rails -v=2.1.2 --include-dependencies it seems to work, maybe installing the first 2 manual also helped am not sure

Ah, I was thinking the invalid gem error was about the rails gem (hence my thought that it might be looking for invalid =2.1.2 instead of valid 2.1.2). But it must have been that it couldn't use another gem with a version other than what it depended on. i.e. one of the dependencies was the wrong version and therefore invalid.
