Description Dimitri Aivaliotis 2006-09-29 08:30:18 UTC

rubygems allows for nonprivileged users to use a gems repository in their home directory.  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.

Fix: 

set CONFIG["INSTALL"] = '/usr/bin/install -c' in rbconfig.rb
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.)

  FreeBSD ports repository

  Modified files:
    lang/ruby18          Makefile 
  Log:
  - Add runtime knob to allow libraries installation under user
    privileges. When RB_INSTALL_USER environment  variable is set, ruby
    will not pass '${_BINOWNGRP}' to install program, thus allowing an
    ordinal user to install gem or library (e.g. into home directory).
  - Eliminate extra whitespace
  - Bump portrevision.
