Nathan de Vries recently posted a neat tip for using Capistrano to determine whether or not your remote machines have all your expected dependencies installed. We could have used something like this recently at work when we were having some strange issues that turned out to be due to some out-of-date dependencies on a few of our boxes. Good stuff! I love seeing the things people are doing with Capistrano.

I have produced a similar solution, except my setup provides a script that you can use from outside of Capistrano and/or call from within a Capistrano task. That way you can manage your dependencies on development machines and from within Capistrano for the deployed servers.
The script and installation instructions are available at http://thatswhatimtalkingabout.org/news/2007/1/19/dead-simple-rails-dependency-management-with-install_gems
