what error do you get?
on my linux box i have:
[[[
CONFIG["INSTALL"] = "/usr/bin/install -c"
]]]
which should work as non-root user too.
I've installed Ruby via Ports, and my relevant files have the following in them:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-freebsd6/rbconfig.rb:
module Config
CONFIG["INSTALL"] = '/usr/bin/install -c -o root -g wheel'
CONFIG.each{|k,v| MAKEFILE_CONFIG[k] = v.dup}
end
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/mkmf.rb:
CONFIG = Config::MAKEFILE_CONFIG
This is where extconf.rb is getting the INSTALL line for the Makefile. So, is this a Ports problem then, and not directly related to rubygems? Even so, is there a way to override this variable in .gemrc, until the Port is corrected?
The error I'm getting is as follows:
gem i hpricot
...skip...
/usr/bin/install -c -o root -g wheel -m 0755 hpricot_scan.so /home/dna/.gems/gems/hpricot-0.4/lib
*** Error code 71
Stop in /usr/home/dna/.gems/gems/hpricot-0.4/ext/hpricot_scan.
make clean
Successfully installed hpricot-0.4
gem list | grep hpricot
hpricot (0.4)
That the hpricot gem was still installed, even though the lib couldn't be is a separate problem and should be handled by rubygems, IMHO.
Thank you for your consideration.
