I'm attempting to gem install twitter-bootstrap-rails on my windows machine. This gem has a dependency on therubyracer, which is not yet compatible with Windows. I found this:
therubyracer gem on windows
Which tells me I should just be able to lean on JScript. Though I don't know how to tell the gem install to ignore dependencies. I've tried to force install with:
gem install -f twitter-bootstrap-rails --platform ruby
To no avail. Does anyone how I can say something like "gem install twitter-bootstrap-rails [but ignore that dependency on therubyracer]"?

The Gemfile. lock allows you to specify the versions of the dependencies that your application needs in the Gemfile , while remembering all of the exact versions of third-party code that your application used when it last worked correctly. By specifying looser dependencies in your Gemfile (such as nokogiri ~> 1.4.
You can run just bundle or bundle install to install gems based on your Gemfile. That will remove the instance of mygem from your Gemfile. lock file.
The correct way to update the version of a gem to a specific version is to specify the version you want in your Gemfile, then run bundle install . As for why your command line was failing, there is no -version option.
According to this doc, there's the options
-f, --[no-]force Force gem to install, bypassing dependency checks
and
--ignore-dependencies Do not install any required dependent gems
If your goal is to get the rails twitter boostrap working on Windows, there is a version of this that uses static CSS, avoiding the fixed dependency on therubyracer. This will install on Windows. You won't have the Less functionality, but it does work in Windows. Try this in your Gemfile:
gem 'twitter-bootstrap-rails', :git => "git://github.com/seyhunak/twitter-bootstrap-rails.git", :branch => "static"
