[Rubygems-developers] 'gem' method crashes if home folder doesn't exist

[Hongli Lai]

If the home folder of the user that the Ruby interpreter is running as 
does not exist, then the 'gem' method will crash
with an Errno::ENOENT exception. I've posted details and a fix at:

http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=23105&group_id=126&atid=577

This fix is very important for Phusion Passenger. I'd like to ask the 
RubyGems developer to release a bugfix release as soon as possible.

With kind regards,
Hongli Lai
