I'm attempting to build my first ruby gem and all seemed to go well until I attempted to install the gem. I'm using RVM so no need for 'sudo gem install' here.
First I attempted to do the following:
jim:~/Desktop/spectest \ [git:master]
→ rake manifest
(in /Users/jim/Desktop/spectest)
Cleaning
- pkg
rm -rf pkg

Ok - so I wasn't certain why I got the Gem::InstallError here. Is there a log ruby gems keeps that I can find more details regarding the error? Either way I attempted to try installing the .gem package directly:
gem install pkg/css-reader-0.1.0.gem
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)
Permission denied - /Users/jim/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-preview1/gems/css-reader-0.1.0/Manifest
And I get a bit more feedback. This time it looks like a permissions error with the Manifest file. So I attempted to chmod 777 the Manifest file and repeat the process all over again but I keep getting the error. Seems like a novice mistake somewhere on my behalf. Any advice is appreciated!
