warning: Insecure world writable dir when I run a ruby or gem command
macos, osx-snow-leopard, ruby-on-rails, rubygems
Solution
Just `chmod go-w /opt/local/bin` at a shell prompt (depending on permissions you may need to `sudo` to do that).
Problem
Not sure why I'm getting this, but I just installed RVM, the new Ruby 1.9, and reinstalled a bunch of gems, and I get this /Users/johnsmith/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.1-p378/bin/gem:4: warning: Insecure world writable dir /opt/local/bin in PATH, mode 040777 Everything still runs otherwise, but I was wondering if there was a way I could get rid of it.
