rails gem permissions problem (tabs on rails)
- by aguynamedloren
I'm having trouble running a gem, tabs on rails -v=1.3.2, in my rails 2.3.8 app. The gem is installed locally (Ubuntu 10.10) and I have config.gem "tabs_on_rails", :version="1.3.2" in environment.rb. This is the output I get when I run script/server:
loren@ubuntu:~/apps/medmentum$ script/server
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 2.3.8 application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000
no such file to load -- tabs_on_rails

When I run rake gems:install, I get this:
Permission denied - /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/tabs_on_rails-1.3.2/rails/init.rb
I navigated to the tabs_on_rails gem folder in the filesystem and all of the files are locked. According to the files' properties, I am not the owner and cannot change the permissions. All of my other local gems are accessible without permissions problems, so this is odd. Any help is very much appreciated!
