EDIT: Lots of people seem to show up at this page wondering about this message. Here is the scoop, it usually is fine if you're playing around with code, but bad if its a production environment.

Fuck you Bundler, I'll do whatever I want as root. It seems that I always seem to creep in some sort of configuration issue with my gems. I always need to "sudo gem install" and sudo this and that, (or Sudo !!, I love sudo bang bang)
Anywho, back to look at my stolen CPU graph in NewRelic and wonder why I don't run this stuff on a high powered machine . . .
