Rails 2 :: OSX Gem update --system :: Permissions Help

Hello,

I am trying to update my system to Rails 2. I followed the excellent instructions at Hivelogic to get rails running on my mac. However, I am getting a permissions error that I am unsure how to handle.

$ script/server Rails requires RubyGems >= 0.9.4 (you have 0.9.2). Please `gem update --system` and try again.

$ gem update --system Updating RubyGems... Attempting remote update of rubygems-update ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)     Permission denied - /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/cache/rubygems- update-1.0.0.gem

Not sure how to change permissions on these library files, or if that is even what I should do! Can anyone give me guidance or assistance?

Thanks!

You need to run the process as administrator.

sudo gem update --system
