Using `sudo` to install gems is a bad idea, because ubuntu is "broken" out of the box, you should fix your system Ruby installation; it's broken for a reason; and you should never run production applications on your host machine's distributed Ruby.
Ubuntu don't ship Ruby as a convenience for users, but as a requirement for some of their internal script, installing Gems into the Ubuntu core paths *can* break your OS… that's why RBV and /usr/local exist. Donovan's solution will work, but you shouldn't do it. If you don't know why you shouldn't do it, ask a sysadmin. (and then, do whatever works for you, but be certain to understand the *potential* problems you will introduce if you start using sudo to install Ruby Gems with) -- * You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Capistrano" group. * To post to this group, send email to [email protected] * To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/capistrano?hl=en
