How do I get ruby gems to include all dependencies of a gem, even ones in BETA?

Ruby gems only seems to include non-beta dependencies. eg. try:

gem install ripple --include-dependencies

: and you get the message:

ERROR:  Error installing ripple:
    ripple requires activesupport (~> 3.0.0.beta, runtime)

Update: I found that this isn't possible in ruby gems. This however finally worked. Thanks @levi:

gem update --system
gem install tzinfo builder memcache-client rack rack-test rack-mount erubis mail text-format thor bundler i18n
gem install rails --pre
gem install ripple

Upgrade your RubyGems version, this is fixed as of RubyGems 1.3.6.

Yup, rubygems can't resolve prerelease gems.

The workaround (resolving the dependencies by hand) should look like this:

gem install tzinfo builder memcache-client rack rack-test rack-mount erubis mail text-format thor bundler i18n

gem install rails --pre

gem install ripple

It's a limitation of the current rubygems. Install the beta version of activesupport manually.
