From: Michael Myers on 27 Apr 2010 15:05 On my system some settings for the compiler (Solaris) are wrong and i want to modify these. But since i dont have root access, i cannot modify that file directly. Is it possible to put a copy of that file like in .gem/ or something so ruby/mkmf can access the settings from there and the system-settings get overwritten by my settings? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Install ruby using rvm: http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/ And have your own version of Ruby that lives in your user folder, and problem solved. Saying this because since you don't have access to rbconfig system- wide, there will be no chance to perform "sudo gem install" which then could lead to problems. HTH, -- Luis Lavena

RVM install somehow didnt work for me on Solaris, got quite many error messages on the install script with command not found etc. And installing gems works with "gem install xx", it installs the gem in my home folder then, so thats not problem. My poblem are native gems, since those use the compiler settings from the rbconfig.rb and i want to overwrite these somehow. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. |
