I tape chmod -R 777 but same error.

And when i try gem install mysql2, i see this message error : /Users/admin/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p385/bin/gem:4: warning: Insecure world writable dir /usr/local/mysql/bin in PATH, mode 040777 ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES) Permission denied - /Users/admin/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p385/gems/mysql2-0.3.11/.gitignore

I clean that whith chmod -R 777 but again same error !!!

I need a help, tnx every body

Answer 1

Well the error is telling you that the 777 permission is a problem, it shouldn't be world writeable. I assume you're using this exclusively for local testing, try it with a 755 or 775 permission.
