Try running 'gem sources -a http://gems.rubyforge.org/' to add rubyforge as a source repo, then try your 'gem install feedtools' again.

I am posting another screen shot of the error i encountered while trying this. http://kinkynews.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/e2.jpg It will be great if you could help me with also. Its just that i am too bad at these stuff. I wish this is the last time, i am going to bug you for debugging my problems. Thanking you.

See that "require 'feed_tools'" toward the top of the script? Those are gems that the script relies on and that's the error message you're getting. To install that, go to the command prompt and type "gem install feedtools" - in Linux or OSX you may need to "sudo gem install feedtools". That should install smoothly, then try running the script again. Ahhhhh yes – missed a step. See that “require ‘feed_tools’” toward the top of the script?

To an extent i could help myself with the procedure, but when i am trying to run it it is generating some errors. I have posted a screen shot of the error here : http://kinkynews.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/warning.jpg Can you please help me in sorting this out. It will be a great help , if you could. I am sorry my understanding of these concepts are very minimal. Once again thanks a lot for the elaborate procedure. Hi Dan, Thanks for the elaborate procedure.

Install ruby. If you are using OSX, you already have ruby installed. 2. Download the script using the link above and name it 'postfromgooglereader.rb'. 3. Inside the script, edit the section 'Stuff you should change' near the top. You will need to define your blog url, id, and password on the lines indicated. Then you need to define your google reader share url, which is a little harder so there's some more specific instructions there. 4. Run the script at your command line by typing 'ruby postfromgooglereader.rb'. This will get google reader items back 1 day and make them drafts in your WordPress blog. You can use parameters to adjust those last two values: 'test' does not post to your blog, 'draft' posts as drafts, and 'live' posts right to your live blog; a number indicates how many days back to go. So 'ruby postfromgooglereader.rb live 10' would post live to your blog all google reader shared items in the past 10 days. 1. Install ruby. If you are using OSX, you already have ruby installed.
2. Download the script using the link above and name it ‘postfromgooglereader.rb’.

I think i have reached the apt place where i have got a solution to this problem. As i am not a very tech person, i am not able to understand the procedure to use this script and get the maximum out of it. Now, you have told "Read the comments at the very top for examples of how to run it. Make sure you edit your personal settings in the “Stuff you should change” section." . Where are the examples you are mentioning? What should i do after i install ruby? Can you explain the procedure... Thank you.

If you are running Mac OSX or Linux, you probably already have Ruby installed and this script can be run with a simple 'Ruby posttogooglereader.rb'. If you are running Windows, you will need to install Ruby first. You can download Ruby from http://www.ruby-lang.org.
