Dear all,

I would like to know how to suppress a warning

warning: Insecure world writable dir …

in Ruby 1.8.4.

I get this especially using Erik V.'s  
superb rubyscript2exe program. (He has been  
describing that problem in his Documentation, too.)  
It is a problem that was not present in Ruby 1.8.2,  
but I would like not to have to install Ruby twice…

Thank you for your help,

Axel
