Installing ESearchy on Backtrack 4.0

A lot of people told me that ESearchy was not working on backtrack 4.0. Here is a short how-to. Let me know if any of you run into other issues. So I can expand this how-to.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ ruby -v
$ gem -v
# 1.2 sudo
# this is OLD !!!
$ sudo gem install rubygems-update
$ sudo /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/update_rubygems
#by default it will fail if you do not have installed libxslt-dev
sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev
# we need github gems
sudo gem sources --add http://gems.github.com
sudo gem install esearchy
# latest available version 2.0.7 ( if not 2.0.8 )
