Description David Vancouvering 2007-12-12 22:36:52 UTC

If you pick the native Solaris ruby interpreter under /usr/ruby/1.8/bin, NetBeans does not locate the gem home under
/var/ruby/1.8/gem_home.  We should set this automatically so the user doesn't have to set it.

This is on Solaris Nevada b79, which includes the webstack installation of Ruby.

Comment 2 David Vancouvering 2007-12-13 01:21:20 UTC

New information: it is not clear what gem home to use.  The gem home under /var is the system gem home and should not be
writeable.  So, the question is, what gem home should be used for NetBeans to install new gems?  Your ideas here much
appreciated.  Right now things are pretty much broken because the /var/ruby/1.8/gem_home is not writeable, and there is
no guidance about where to put a new gem home.
