Bug #7509: Error installing gem on clean system

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: drbrain (Eric Hodel)
• Target version: -
• ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0dev (2012-12-04 trunk 38184) [x86_64-linux]

=begin
I just built and installed fresh Ruby on clean system and I observe following error:

gem install rdoc

ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::ENOENT)
No such file or directory - /builddir/.gem/specs/rubygems.org%80/latest_specs.4.8

Creating the directory:

mkdir /builddir/.gem/specs/rubygems.org%80/

Solves the issue for me, but I would expect RubyGems to create it if needed anyway.
=end
