Ruby Programming Language :: gem install directory error


	gem install directory error I updated my ruby/rails stack this morning on my mac os x 10.4.9 machine. Now I'm having a problem intalling gems. I get the following error while trying to install a gem ** ERROR: While executing gem ... (ArgumentError) install directory "/usr/local//lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/hpricot-0.5" not absolute Here is the output from a gem environment command RubyGems Environment: - VERSION: 0.9.2 (0.9.2) - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /usr/local//lib/ruby/gems/1.8 - GEM PATH: - /usr/local//lib/ruby/gems/1.8 - REMOTE SOURCES: - http://gems.rubyforge.org I'm not sure what the issue is or how to correct it. Any ideas???? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I'm sure that's not the problem but I'm just curious =) Jeremy Heiler wrote: > On May 28, 2007, at 11:30 AM, Craig Jolicoeur wrote: >> ** >> I'm not sure what the issue is or how to correct it.

I can addess that directory fine with or without the slash so I don't really think thats the issue, but I don't know why its like that. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
