Here is I problem I have on a fresh Ubuntu install with the ruby-1.8.2-1 package.
After downloading rubygems-0.9.0, I run $ ruby setup.rb all --prefix=/home/lowry which replies with hook /home/lowry/hobby/rubygems-0.9.0/./post-install.rb failed: You don't have write permissions into the /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 directory. Try 'ruby setup.rb --help' for detailed usage. After some thought and ruby setup.rb --help reading, I run $ ruby setup.rb all --prefix=/home/user --sysconfdir=/home/user/etc \ --siteruby=/home/user/lib/site_ruby And it still replies with hook /home/lowry/hobby/rubygems-0.9.0/./post-install.rb failed: You don't have write permissions into the /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 directory. Try 'ruby setup.rb --help' for detailed usage. How do I install gems into $HOME ?!!! _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
