I have libgems-ruby1.8 1.0.1-4 installed. I setgid the /var/lib/gems directory with 775 permissions and owned by group gems. This way I can install gems without being root (I only need to belong to the group gems).
This has the side effect of not being able to touch /usr/bin, which I've noticed ruby gems has been trying to do lately: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/lib$ gem install builder testunitxml shared-mime-info rcov flexmock Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org Successfully installed builder-2.1.2 Successfully installed testunitxml-0.1.5 Successfully installed shared-mime-info-0.1 ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError) You don't have write permissions into the /usr/bin directory. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/lib$ That is with a fresh rubygems install (purged the packages, deleted /var/lib/gems, installed rubygems again, changed permissions as described above). Any idea why rubygems is trying to touch /usr/bin ? Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks, Tim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
