gem version dilemma with rails 3.1

I want to use ebayapi gem (https://github.com/codyfauser/ebay) with my rails 3.1 application. If I add the gem in the Gemfile, rails doesn't run.

/Users/ssk/.rvm/gems/ree-1.8.7-2011.03/gems/money-1.7.1/lib/support/cattr_accessor.rb:7:in `cattr_reader': undefined method `id2name' for {:instance_writer=>true}:Hash (NoMethodError)

I removed the ebayapi gem and tried "require 'ebay'" but it said that "no such file to load".

Ebayapi gem works only with money 1.7.1 and I think that conflicts with rails 3.1 (maybe 3.0 as well).

Is there a way to workaround?

Thanks.

Sam

If it's truly incompatible, and you're up to fixing it yourself, then fork the projects in question on github, and update your Gemfile to point to your git repo (or even a local path to make editing a lot easier).

Here's an example:

gem 'money', :path => "~/dev/ruby/gems/money"

# or

gem 'money', :git => "git://github.com/my_account/money.git"

Once you've fixed it, send a pull request to the original project so they can include the fix.
