Hi, I’m struggling having the nokogiri xml gem automatically installed. Since building the library on windows is hard, they provide two gem files , for either 32 or 64bit. I’m using this block to detect a missing library and install the correct gem: begin require 'nokogiri' rescue LoadError if …

That message says the GEM installer is trying to create a folder named “O:/.gem”, probably to hold configuration info, and the current user does not have adequate permission to create a new folder in the base of the O: drive.

After more collaborating it turns out that O: is an old network drive that no one really knows how to use. It’s registered in the cmd environment variables (set in cmd, not windows environment variables) under HOME and HOMEDRIVE. After I created the .gem directory itself, it threw several other err…
