To eliminate any corruption I reinstalled ruby and rails (2.2.2) and created an empty project but the same error persists with "rake rails:freeze:gems".
"Permission denied - activesupport-2.2.2 or activesupport" I added some debug code to the mv function in fileUtils but I can't get any additional information. 1. How can I debug rake tasks? Is there a way to set breakpoints in fileutils.rb when "rake rails:freeze:gems" runs so I can inspect the data there? 2. How can I get information about what user is the command "rake rails:freeze:gems" running under? I am system admin on my box so I just don't understand the permission denied error I am seeing I also tried to go down the other path I had tried earlier to freeze rails with "rake rails:freeze:edge TAG=rel_2-2-2". It looks like there the system can't find an unzip executable - I have Winzip on my box but not sure if that matters. I saw in another post (http://www.question-defense.com/2009/04/02/error-freezing-rails-usr-local-lib-ruby-1-8-fileutils-rb-1297-command-not-found-unzip-railszip/) that doing a "yum install unzip" on a linux box apparently solved this kind of problem. Is there an equivalent "unzip" install for XP box that might address this aspect of the problem?
