The key to getting this to work is making sure that GEM_HOME is set to
somewhere you have write access too:
Here is it failing:
$> gem install twurl
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)
You don't have write permissions into the /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 directory.
[1] 9286 exit 1 gem install twurl
Here is it working:
$> export GEM_HOME=$HOME
$> gem install twurl
Successfully installed oauth-0.4.3
Successfully installed twurl-0.6.2
