How to install a forked gem of LinkedIn?

I want to use the LinkedIn gem But not the one that I get when I type

sudo gem install linkedin

I want a specific one that somehow has done patches to. It is a fork of the original which is:

http://github.com/jbasdf/linkedin

I tried:

sudo gem install jbasdf-linkedin

But not succeed. Any ideas? Thanks.

Download sources from http://github.com/jbasdf/linkedin, and use "rake" command to build a gem locally

git clone http://github.com/jbasdf/linkedin.git
cd linkedin
rake build # (*)
find . -iname \*gem
# ./pkg/linkedin-0.1.8.gem

(*) system may ask you to install some required gems, such as 'jeweler' at this step
