invalid path for gem

[nrolland]

Hi,

When going to tools -> ruby gems, I can see my local gems.
Upon retrieving remote gems, the following error occurs :

[nrolland]

The origin lies in Gem.user_home returning a stupid path.
It is used in rubygems : spec_fetcher.rb : initialize

How do you fix that stuff...

So, if a "HOME" variable is defined on your computer, rubygems will use it before anything else:

def self.find_home
['HOME', 'USERPROFILE'].each do |homekey|
return ENV[homekey] if ENV[homekey]
end

So make sure you dont, or that it is expressed as an absolute path.

This stresses the problem with Java and ruby which are relying on non-rentrant mecanisms.
Which is why netbeans could not package in my case a self-contained jruby distribution.

Those should absolutely be proscribed, or given a way to override default mechanism. I think that is why 90 pct of java installation fails
