Jgarber RedCloth

I'm attempting to install RedCloth as a non-root user on FreeBSD 7.2; it installs to ~/.gem, but then errors out when it attempts to chown things to root, which of course I can't do.

$ uname -a FreeBSD schof.nfshost.com 7.2-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p1 #2: Wed Jun 10 23:03:03 UTC 2009 root@x4:/data/f3/freebsd7/i386/obj/data/f3/freebsd7/src/sys/NFSN32 i386

Long error output follows:

$ gem install RedCloth WARNING: Installing to ~/.gem since /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 and

  /usr/local/bin aren't both writable.

Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing RedCloth:
