Added "ruby-gem-downloads-badge" as a project that uses shields

[bogdanRada]

ruby-gem-downloads-badge is a project that shows the downloads count of a gem , but you can also specify a version or just "stable" and will display the download count of the latest stable version , or it can also display the total download count.
Here's some examples :

You can find more details on the readme file of the repository : https://github.com/bogdanRada/ruby-gem-downloads-badge

Ok.

Do you want to take a stab at adding that functionality through Shields.io?

[bogdanRada]

@espadrine i am not sure i understand . Can you please elaborate?
I am already using the service from img.shields.io

[espadrine]

@bogdanRada Right now, as you can see at http://shieds.io, we have support for showing download counts for npm, PyPI, Packagist, NuGet, and Chocotaley. We could have support for gems… I'll add support, unless you want to do that! If you do, it's probably a simple change in /server.js. You have the example of supporting gem versions on line 562, and the example of supporting total downloads on line 1208.

I have been trying to run the application locally using npm version 1.4.14

The npm install works fine
But after i execute command "sudo node server" I get error:

module.js:480
  process.dlopen(filename, module.exports);
          ^
Error: /home/bogdan/github/shields/node_modules/canvas/build/Release/canvas.node: undefined symbol: _ZN4node6Buffer3NewEPKcj

Do you know how i can resolve this? I have been searching on google for a couple of hours and can't seem to find anything about this.

[bogdanRada]

seems is working if i don't run the server with sudo .

[espadrine]

That's odd… I definitely don't have that issue. I have the same npm version and node v0.10.29.

[bogdanRada]

hmm, i had a smaller version of node v0.10.15 . Upgrading works ok.
