How to solve Insecure world writable dir /usr in PATH,mode 040777 warning on Ruby?

Question

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/universal-darwin13/rbconfig.rb:213: warning: Insecure world writable dir /usr in PATH, mode 0

Answer 1

Executing the following worked for me on Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan

sudo chmod o-w /usr/local

The error occured when loading a vagrant as follows;

vagrant status /opt/vagrant/embedded/gems/gems/vagrant-1.8.1/lib/vagrant/pre-rubygems.rb:31: warning: Insecure world writable dir /usr/local in PATH, mode 040777 /opt/vagrant/embedded/gems/gems/bundler-1.10.6/lib/bundler/shared_helpers.rb:78: warning: Insecure world writable dir /usr/local in PATH, mode 040777 ls -dal /usr/local/ drwxrwxrwx 10 root wheel 340 Sep 9 15:05 /usr/local/

After running the chmod mentioned above.

ls -dal /usr/local/ drwxrwxr-x 10 root wheel 340 Sep 9 15:05 /usr/local/

Which solved the problem.
