hi there,

I have a few issues with bundler.

1. running “gem install bundler” in my project directory as a regular  
user is impossible due to permissions problem. I had to use sudo

2. running “bundle install” in my project directory as a regular user,  
I got the following permission problem.

"Installing rspec (1.3.0) from .gem files at /home/ct9a/projects/myApp/  
vendor/bundle/cache /usr/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/  
installer.rb:518:in `initialize’: Permission denied - /home/ct9a/  
projects/myApp/vendor/bundle/gems/rspec-1.3.0/.document  
(Errno::EACCES) "

Any ideas why bundle is trying to refer to my ruby interpretor in /usr/  
local/lib?
