Summary: gem uninstall without sudo incorrectly reports success on OS X
Initial Comment:
On my system (OS X 10.5.8), uninstalling a gem without using "sudo" first
causes gem to report that it uninstalled the gem. However, it does not do so;
the gem remains intalled.
I install gems using sudo; I get error messages if I forget it.
Running with --debug shows plenty of permissions errors, but those aren't
propagated up under normal circumstances.
Attached is a copy of a gem session that shows the error and the pertinent info.
Is this a widespread issue? If so, could it be fixed so that it correctly fails?
Thanks,
Craig Walker

I have had other problems with Ruby so I would not be
surprised if it was something specific to my machine.
Is there anything I can do to debug it further?

Message:
I'd have to guess that you or macports messed with your perms in some way, or
macports patches rubygems? The only other difference I see is in GEM_PATH, so
that is prolly easier to check first.
I can't repro this at all:
drwxr-xr-x 7 root admin 374 Aug 31 15:14 zenweb-2.18.1/
503 % gem uninstall zenweb
Remove executables:
zenweb, zenwebpage, zenwebsite
in addition to the gem? [Yn]
