rake doc:rails aborts due to denied permission

[Shazad Rehman]

Hi,
I issue the following  commands:

rails new dummy_app
cd dummy_app
rake doc:rails

When issuing the last command I notice that rake aborts due to denied permissions. See below.

rm -r doc/api

Performing ls -la /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1_8/gems/actionmailer-3_1_3/MIT-LICENSE.html produces:

-rw-r--r--  1 root  admin  92997 27 Nov 23:17 /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1_8/gems/actionmailer-3_1_3/MIT-LICENSE.html

Is this normal behavior? I’ve googled and searched forums but to no avail.

I’m a noob to all this and am willing to do what is needed to grok this. Can someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks
