A pure-ruby code highlighter that is compatible with pygments <a href="http://rouge.jneen.net/">http://rouge.jneen.net/</a>
I have ruby for windows installed and working on my Windows 8 64-bit laptop. I also have jekyll installed and working and am able to build and serve a static website built using jekyll.
My problem is with syntax highlighting for code snippets in markdown posts in my jekyll setup.
The default highlighter, which is pygments, requires a python install and I don't want that on my windows machine.
So I found that rogue is a native syntax highlighter in ruby, and tried to install it by issuing the following command, as told in this jekyll on windows guide page http://jekyll-windows.juthilo.com/3-syntax-highlighting/
gem install rouge
However, when I do that, I am getting the following error.
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'rogue' (>= 0) in any repository
ERROR: Possible alternatives: logue, rogu, vogue
Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help is appreciated. Note that the command windows is in admin mode, and also as stated earlier, ruby and jekyll are running fine on my laptop.
Finally, I am not behind any firewall or anything like that.

I just installed Jekyll on Windows and I'm trying to make the syntax highlight work with rouge.
I have set highlighter: rouge on _config.yml.
In the file _posts\2015-08-13-my-first-post.md I got:
{% highlight javascript linenos %}
var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting";
alert(s);
{% endhighlight %}
When I run bundle exec jekyll serve it outputs:
C:\Users\Fred\Documents\Projects\GithubPage>bundle exec jekyll serve
