Hi,

I guess you can still pass --install-dir, butI wonder why we don't fall back on the ~/.gems repository in case the system one isn't writable. Could you file a ticket about this? I will have a look.

Thanks,
Laurent

Dear All,

Can I install gems without sudo? I want them to be installed in .gems under my home folder. Thanks.
