Thanks for the quick reply. I tried what you stated with no change.
I installed the .tgz of the gem and moved the entire folder within the bin folder. I read the 'readme' and tried to install. I received the below error after the setup command. Is this what you mean by "you have to build the gem yourself from source"?
