Summary: On freebsd gem install uses install -oroot -gwheel when there are
native extension (nokogiri, json)
Initial Comment:
When instaling gem as non-super user and it has native extension (nokogiri,
json tested) on freebsd, it always fails with (nokogiri example):
install: /home/pepe/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/nokogiri-1.4.0/lib/nokogiri/nokogiri.so:
chown/chgrp: Operation not permitted
*** Error code 71
which is caused by (I think):
/usr/bin/install -c -o root -g wheel -m 0755 nokogiri.so
/home/pepe/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/nokogiri-1.4.0/lib/nokogiri
which in turn is caused by this line in Makefile:
INSTALL = /usr/bin/install -c -o root -g wheel
I tried to find solution, but my OS/extension knowledge is very limited.
FreeBSD: 7.2-STABLE FreeBSD

Thanks for help and sorry for longer time to respond.
I actually found that you can set ENV['RB_USER_INSTALL'] to true and it doesn't
use wheel and root then.
Thanks again for your help.

Contact the the ruby port maintainer on FreeBSD.
You may be able to override it by setting RUBY_CONFIGURE_ARGS.

Message:
Have to agree with Marcus,
On OSX, CONFIG['INSTALL'] looks like this:
/usr/bin/install -c
In other OS, like Linux, looks the same.
The value of install was form during the configure and install process of Ruby
itself, and is the one being used by mkmf to generate the Makefile.
I would check the way FreeBSD is building Ruby to see if that is the problem.

Message:
this is not a bug of rubygems. the value for INSTALL comes from the rbconfig.
ruby -rrbconfig -e 'puts Config::CONFIG["INSTALL"]'
this would be more a bug of the ruby parts on freebsd.
