rake install fails but gem install works fine, any idea why?

问题

The problem:

I have this gem that I am working on. While trying to install it locally to do some tests, rake install fails after building the gem. Rake suggested that I run gem install for the built gem to debug. Surprisingly, gem install pkg/my_gem-x.y.z.gem works like a charm!

Any idea why?

Some details:

rake version: 10.0.3

Gem created using bundler version: 1.2.1

Contents of gemspec:

lib = File.expand_path('../lib', __FILE__)
$LOAD_PATH.unshift(lib) unless $LOAD_PATH.include?(lib)
require 'my_gem/version'

Gem::Specification.new do |gem|
  gem.name          = "mygem"
  gem.version       = MyGem::VERSION
  gem.authors       = ["Omar Abdel-Wahab"]
  gem.email         = ["me@example.com"]
  gem.description   = %q{bla bla bla}
  gem.summary       = %q{bla bla bla}
  gem.homepage      = "http://github.com/foobar/"

  gem.files         = `git ls-files`.split($/)
  gem.executables   = gem.files.grep(%r{^bin/}).map{ |f| File.basename(f) }
  gem.test_files    = gem.files.grep(%r{^(test|spec|features)/})
  gem.require_paths = ["lib"]

  gem.add_dependency "rails", ">= 3.1"
  gem.add_dependency "jquery-rails"
  gem.add_dependency "twitter-bootstrap-rails", ">= 2.1.0"

  gem.add_development_dependency "bundler", ">= 1.0.0"
  gem.add_development_dependency "rspec", "~> 2.3"
  gem.add_development_dependency "sqlite3-ruby"
end

Based on the comment thread on the question, it was a permission problem. Debugging Bundler's gem_helper.rb file revealed this:

ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES) Permission denied - /Users/owahab/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p286/gems/i18n-0.6.1/ci/Gemfile.no-rails

Some gems had been installed as root. Removing them solved the problem.
