This is strange. What are the permissions that you are seeing? I ran the same steps on my b87 machine, and here's how the permissions show up. They are sufficient for a user to use rails. bash-3.2$ ls -ltr /usr/ruby/1.8/bin total 448 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 156 Apr 1 17:05 testrb -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 1494 Apr 1 17:05 ri -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 1546 Apr 1 17:05 rdoc -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 382 Apr 1 17:05 irb -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 3885 Apr 1 17:05 erb -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 655 Apr 1 17:05 update_rubygems -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 7953 Apr 1 17:05 index_gem_repository.rb -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 1819 Apr 1 17:05 gemwhich -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 521 Apr 1 17:05 gemri -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 3207 Apr 1 17:05 gemlock -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 76 Apr 1 17:05 gem_server -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 1784 Apr 1 17:05 gem_mirror -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 707 Apr 1 17:05 gem -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 183424 Apr 2 04:07 ruby -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 334 May 9 18:28 rake -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 342 May 9 18:29 rails > ...and their links are not created in [/usr/bin]: > thats right - the links that you see in /usr/bin to ruby, gem, and irb are created by the packaging(ie., IPS or svr4). The Ruby install doesn't create them. The gem command doesn't create symlinks from /usr/bin . . . it places binaries into the same directory as the Ruby executable is installed in. Hence you'd have to look for rails in the place where ruby is installed. It doesn't seem that intuitive, given the fact that you didn't think of looking there for it. I'll file a CR to patch rubygems to place executable symlinks in /usr/bin. > % cd /usr/bin && pfexec ln -s ../ruby/1.8/bin/rails rails && pfexec ln -s > ../ruby/1.8/bin/rake rake > > However, even after this is done, most of the files in > [/var/ruby/1.8/gem_home] seem to have incorrect permissions.

Is this not what you get when you install rails? bash-3.2$ ls -ltr /var/ruby/1.8/gem_home/ total 13800 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7050079 May 9 18:28 source_cache drwxr-xr-x 2 root bin 512 May 9 18:29 cache drwxr-xr-x 10 root bin 512 May 9 18:29 gems drwxr-xr-x 2 root bin 512 May 9 18:29 specifications drwxr-xr-x 10 root bin 512 May 9 18:30 doc > Dispite all the above changes, when I execute the following, I get an error: > > % cd ~ && rails test > /usr/bin/rails:16:in `load': no such file to load -- rails (LoadError) > from /usr/bin/rails:16 > > Indeed, line 16 of the [/usr/bin/rails --> /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/rails] ends with > a command to [load 'rails']. > Can you try setting GEM_HOME=/var/ruby/1.8/gem_home:$GEM_HOME (or the equivalent in your shell). This should not be necessary, since this should already be in rubygems.rb - but this seems like somehow your gem home is not being recognized by the gem command. -ps > By the way, I have installed the following IPS packages to get started, but > there may be one that I'm missing.
