I use $HOME/.gemrc install: --user-install --no-ri --no-rdoc --bindir /home/kristian/bin update: --user-install --no-ri --no-rdoc --bindir /home/kristian/bin
which installs all gems in my user directory - no sudo needed. BUT bundler does not obey this setting and ask for sudo password and installs them into the system. I think the easiest way to get rubygems and bundle working "locally" is setting something like export GEM_HOME=$HOME/.gems export GEM_PATH=$HOME/.gems then rubygems and bundler works fine together. I just tried this on ubuntu 11.10 where I do have $ gem envir RubyGems Environment: - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.7.2 - RUBY VERSION: 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352) [x86_64-linux] - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /home/kristian/.gems - RUBY EXECUTABLE: /usr/bin/ruby1.8 - EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: /home/kristian/.gems/bin - RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS: - ruby - x86_64-linux - GEM PATHS: - /home/kristian/.gems - GEM CONFIGURATION: - :update_sources => true - :verbose => true - :benchmark => false - :backtrace => false - :bulk_threshold => 1000 - "maven" => {"profiles"=>"sonatype-snapshots", "plugin_version"=>"0.28.6-SNAPSHOT"} - "install" => "--user-install --no-ri --no-rdoc --bindir /home/ kristian/bin" - "update" => "--user-install --no-ri --no-rdoc --bindir /home/ kristian/bin" - REMOTE SOURCES: - http://rubygems.org/ and there is no problem to install sinatra and thin. from that thread I conclude you do not have the right version of rubygems installed try to install the version from 11.10 - Kristian On Nov 8, 7:11 am, "MaT 2." <li...@ruby-forum.com> wrote: > i hope somebody can help me with this kind of problem.. > > -- > Posted viahttp://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
