On 7/11/08 installing via gem on OSX results in broken install
Reported by Philip Hallstrom | July 12th, 2008 @ 08:01 AM
Just now (7/11/08) I went to install braid on OSX 10.5. I performed the following steps per the wiki:
gem sources -a http://gems.github.com/
gem install evilchelu-braid
Which resulted in this:
$ braid help
/usr/bin/braid:19:in `load': no such file to load -- braid (LoadError)
from /usr/bin/braid:19
I then uninstalled the gem and performed these steps:
git clone git://github.com/evilchelu/braid.git
cd braid
rake install_gem
'braid help' then worked like I'd expect.
Not so much a bug as the gem is probably outdated or something similar, but figured I'd mention it as I don't see anything in the wiki saying it shouldn't work.

This is a duplicate of #8. The same bin/braid file is world-writable and -executable, but not world-readable. The solution described there works: go into the gem's directory, and chmod 755 bin/braid.
Whoever's maintaining the gem should fix that file's permission.

Manually building the gem from my branch at http://github.com/norbert/braid should work for now. I am working on 0.5, the gem version for that will be fixed as well.

I should mention that it is not backwards compatible, yet. The .braids upgrade code is almost done.
