Don't forget to install jeweler:

sudo gem install technicalpickles-jeweler -s http://gems.github.com

Otherwise it won't build.

Looks like they are using Jeweler which has a rake build task to build the gem.

You can check what rake tasks are available by doing rake -T or rake -vT (more verbose). If I do that in a gem's root directory that uses Jeweler I get:

rake build                    # Build gem

as an option.

I think you can also skip the manual install step by doing rake install too.
