Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200908171401) Java: 1.5.0_19; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.5.0_19-137 System: Mac OS X version 10.5.8 running on i386; MacRoman; en_US (nb) Userdir: /Users/tomas/.netbeans/dev --------------- - open Ruby platform manager - choose native ruby - hit "install fast debugger" --> installation fails, gem needs to write to /usr/bin. Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError) You don't have write permissions into the /usr/bin directory. would be nice to have something similar like on linux - to invoke "sudo dialog" and run gem command as root.
This is being solved in issue #128575. Mac still unsolved, since it is (or seems to be) a harder case (no gksu by default, see the #128575). If you have any insight please comment in the #128575. Thanks. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 128575 ***
