This is part question - part comment...
I'm installing a local (non-root) gems. I've succeeded in doing this,
however I had a problem I thought I might bring to the attention of the
community.
First.. installing on a Debian testing distro. Ruby installed via
apt-get.
following these instructions..
<http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/3#page83>
when doing install step.. (ruby setup.rb install)
I kept getting a directory not found error related to line 71 of
"rubygems-0.9.0/post-install.rb".
( Dir.chdir("pkgs/sources") do )
when I changed this line to...
( Dir.chdir("/home/my_user/rubygems-0.9.0/pkgs/sources") do )
then it all worked.
But I get real nervous when I need to change code like that, mostly for
future maintenance reasons.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a directory path I'm neglecting
to set properly? Or do other people also hack through this bit?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank You,
Andy Koch
