Why doesn't nokogiri install?

I'm having a devil of a time installing Nokogiri on Ubuntu 12.04. I use rbenv.

    $ gem install nokogiri -v '1.6.1'
    ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)

It seems like I need some way of having sudo ruby -v give me 2.0.0. What am I missing?

回答1:

You shouldn't need sudo when you do gem install with rbenv. Unfortunately, the ownership is usually not correct for the .rbenv directory on a new install.

Do this first to set your permissions correctly:

sudo chown -R $USER "$HOME/.rbenv"

Then go ahead and just run the install again:

gem install nokogiri -v '1.6.1'

It should work without sudo.

This works fine, but make sure to restart your terminal window after running sudo chown.

sudo chown -R $USER "$HOME/.rbenv" 

# close terminal, then run the gem install

gem install nokogiri
