how can I resolve this gemfile conflict

Question

I'm getting this error after bundle install. How can I fix it?

 Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "excon":
  In Gemfile:
    locomotive-heroku (~> 0.0.2) ruby depends on
      excon (~> 0.9.4) ruby

    excon (0.20.0)

From the error it looks like that `locomotive-heroku` depends on `excon 0.9.4` but you have `excon (0.20.0)` have you you could do `gem uni` which will list what versions of `excon` you have installed, as there must be some conflict. Further to this I believe that this conflict can occur due to the `Gemfile.lock` have a look in there please! — Deej, Mar 18 '13 at 19:49

Uninstall the latest version of the gem: gem uninstall excon -v=0.20.0. Then bundle install again to see if it resolved the problem.

didn't work. can i fork locomotive-heroku on github and edit it so that it requires excon (~> 0.14)? I don't know how... – David West Mar 18 '13 at 19:00
After removing the 0.20.0 version, when you type a `gem list | grep excon`, did it show you the 0.9.4 one? – MurifoX Mar 18 '13 at 19:47

i fixed it by putting the locations for the current repos for locomotive/engine and locomotive/heroku. I.e gem 'locomotive-heroku', git: 'repolocation', require: 'locomotive/heroku' This is also what eventually got me a working installation of locomotivecms on heroku. I did need to set it to compile assets in the production environment.
