Hello,

I am getting an error when attempting a fx-ruby install with macports.

I received the same error before and performed a uninstall-reinstall of macports

Bash Error:

--->  Attempting to fetch FXRuby-1.6.19.tar.gz from http://distfiles.macports.org/ruby
--->  Verifying checksums for rb-fxruby

After this I tried cleaning the port, got this error:

The error message is correct insofar as ports are not permitted to create files outside of the work directory. The question is why the port is attempting to do this, and how to make it stop attempting to do this.
