| I have never gotten --no-user-install to do anything, and have just now | |
| determined that there is some bug in the option parsing, but the code is kind of | |
| a tangled mess. This is, as far as I know, the only way to stop it installing | |
| things in ~/.gem without tracking down the real bug. | |
| Things I have tried: | |
| * --no-user-install on the command line. | |
| * --no-user-install in my ~/.gemrc. | |
| * rm -rf ~/.gem; touch ~/.gem; sudo chattr +i .gem (Blows up way earlier. | |
| Rubygems can't cope with not being able to make that directory.) | |
| * Telling rubygems lies about $HOME. | |
| * This patch. It's the only thing that has worked so far, if my goal is to make | |
| Rubygems die with an error instead of just stuffing things into ~/.gem, making | |
| them inaccessible when I try to run things as a different user. (This being | |
| Unix and all...) |
