gem install giving error that I can't change permissions.. chown and chmod not working
- by user2321289
so I am trying to install hmac
gem install ruby-hmac -v 0.4.0
I am getting the following error message:
You don't have write permissions into the /opt/rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p448/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1 directory
So the output from ls -l is as such:
ubuntu@ip-10-38-121-211:~/workspace/cf-release$ sudo ls -l /opt/rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p448/lib/ruby/gems/
I perform a chown on this directory:
sudo chown -R ubuntu:ubuntu /opt/rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p448/lib/ruby/gems/
Try to install the gem:
ubuntu@ip-10-38-121-211:~/workspace/cf-release$ sudo chown -v ubuntu:ubuntu /opt/rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p448/lib/ruby/gems/
ownership of `/opt/rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p448/lib/ruby/gems/' retained as ubuntu:ubuntu
I do another ls -l on the directory:
ubuntu@ip-10-38-121-211:~/workspace/cf-release$ ls -l /opt/rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p448/lib/ruby/gems/
total 4
d--------- 8 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Nov 1 20:43 1.9.1
Doing a chmod 777 to make the directory writeable:
ubuntu@ip-10-38-121-211:~/workspace/cf-release$ sudo chmod -v 777 /opt/rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p448/lib/ruby/gems/
mode of `/opt/rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p448/lib/ruby/gems/' retained as 0777 (rwxrwxrwx)
ubuntu@ip-10-38-121-211:~/workspace/cf-release$ ls -l /opt/rbenv/versions/1.9.3-p448/lib/ruby/gems/
total 4
d--------- 8 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Nov 1 20:43 1.9.1
Any idea as to why this would be acting up like this? I am at a loss here.. any help appreciated
