When installing a gem that compiles an extension, the install of this compiled part fails because the CONFIG["INSTALL"] in rbconfig.rb is set to "/usr/bin/install -c -o root -g wheel". An unprivileged user can obviously not install anything as root, so the install fails. >How-To-Repeat: - install ruby and rubygems from ports. - setup a local gem repository as an unprivileged user. - install any gem that compiles an extension (mongrel, hpricot, etc.) >Fix: set CONFIG["INSTALL"] = '/usr/bin/install -c' in rbconfig.rb >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
