Ruby Bundler Permission issue

So, I'm positive I once did a sudo bundle install out of desperation, which I now understand is a no-no. But now, when i try to run bundle install, I get the following error:

Installing culerity (0.2.12) /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/installer.rb:294:in `generate_bin': You don't have write permissions into the /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/bin directory. (Gem::FilePermissionError)

I've tried removeing everything in ~/.bundle ~/.gem .bundle Gemfile.lock as well as any reference to culerity or capybara in /Library/Ruby (OSX 10.6). I also checked to make sure permissions were set correctly (not root) on all my files in this project. I also cleared the gem cache.

My Gemfile:

source 'http://rubygems.org'

gem 'rails', '3.0.0.rc2'

# Bundle edge Rails instead:
#gem 'rails', :git => 'git://github.com/rails/rails.git'

gem 'pg'

# Use unicorn as the web server
# gem 'unicorn'

# Deploy with Capistrano
# gem 'capistrano'

# To use debugger
gem 'ruby-debug'

# Bundle the extra gems:
# gem 'bj'
# gem 'nokogiri', '1.4.1'
# gem 'sqlite3-ruby', :require => 'sqlite3'
# gem 'aws-s3', :require => 'aws/s3'

# Bundle gems for certain e开发者_如何学编程nvironments:
# gem 'rspec', :group => :test
# group :test do
#   gem 'webrat'
# end

gem 'haml', '3.0.15'
gem 'mogli', '0.0.13' #, :path => "~/Sites/mogli"
gem 'facebooker2', '0.0.4'
gem 'geokit'
gem 'acts_as_restful_list'
gem 'hoptoad_notifier'

group :development, :test do
  gem "rspec-rails", '2.0.0.beta.19'
  gem 'factory_girl_rails'
  gem 'capybara', '0.3.9'
  gem 'database_cleaner'
  gem 'cucumber-rails', '0.3.2'
  gem 'cucumber', '0.8.5'
  gem 'spork'
  gem 'launchy'    # So you can do Then show me the page
end

Also, I have rvm on my system, but I'm using the system ruby for this project.

Any ideas on what's causing the permission issue? Surely, I'm not stuck using sudo bundle install.

Thanks.

It look like you are using the system's ruby. You have a few options:

• use sudo to install your bundle system wide. it could be a problem with conflicting gems from different applications.
• use bundle install --path bundle_dir, which is going to install the gems in bundle_dir
• use rvm (http://rvm.beginrescueend.com), this program will allow you to use different ruby versions, and different gem sets.

Try to touch a file in the particular path. I guess OS X is protecting these directories a bit more than just the normal way? I think OS X supports ACL's with their filesystem, maybe you have to look there?

maybe try using chmod on everything, but looks like you'll need to run it as sudo...not sure why that's not an option...
