Gem install Rails issue

Im trying to install rails gem on OSX 10.5.6, but when i use the gem
install rails command this message displays WARNING: Installing to
~/.gem since /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 and
/usr/local/bin aren’t both writable.
Successfully installed rails-2.3.2
1 gem installed
How can I get my gems to install to /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 or
/usr/local/bin which both are set up in my environment variable path.

Also When trying to start my server for my rails project using
./script/server its displaying
Salafee:views_demo musdev$ ./script/server
=> Booting Mongrel
=> Rails 2.3.2 application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server

Then when I go to http:/localhost:3000, and click on About your
application environment I see a message saying
Welcome aboard

About your application’s environment

We’re sorry, but something went wrong.

We’ve been notified about this issue and we’ll take a look at it
shortly.

Thanks

sudo gem install …

That will prompt you for your administrator password. It might also
install it into /Library/Ruby/Gems (which should be in your ruby load
path as well by ddefault).

Open up log/development.log and see what it says.

That initial page loads because public/index.html exists so mongrel
isn’t even touching rails at that point.

Thanks philip, Im not seeing the problem with installing gems anymore
after using the sudo command.
As far as the development.log pertaining to the error I was seeing, the
log says no such file to load – sqlite3

So i went to install the sqlite gem and this is what It displayed in my
terminal

Salafee:views_demo musdev$ sudo gem install sqlite
Password:
Building native extensions. This could take a while…
ERROR: Error installing sqlite:

Sorry Im just new to this osx environment, and never seen these errors
before

Thanks

try: sudo gem install sqlite3
