oh, I have missed that.

I had searched for "Gem" on Deken on a 32-bit Pd and got the 32 bit pre-release, so I tried that. Maybe remove it from Deken? 
I just tried Gem-0.94 with 64-bit Pd and it works fine, thanks!

BTW, how does Deken determine the architecture? I have a 32-bit Pd installed and when I'm using Deken on my *local* 64-bit Pd, I only get results for 32-bit... (I just download the 64-bit version anyway)
