Hello list,

I'd like to develop a blog using www-apps/jekyll, which makes extensive use of 
ruby gems, of which I have no experience. On trying to install a new default 
theme I get copious permission errors.

The ruby gems live in /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/3.1.0/gems, and to install anything 
in that tree I need write permission on the destination directory and execute 
permission on all those above it.

This poses an obvious security problem.

When I emerged jekyll and ran its installation routine, I found I had a new ~/
bin directory with nine executable files in it. ~/bin/update_rubygems has 
similar permission problems but is more concise in reporting them

I can't add myself to a group and grant it permissions, because there seems 
not to be any such group.

How do Gentoo Ruby users get around this?

Peter.
