Every time I run this command rails server:

warning: Insecure world writable dir /usr/local/bin in PATH, mode 040777

I searched for a solution here and they said to type: chmod go-w /usr/local/bin

But I get this error:

chmod: Unable to change file mode on /usr/local/bin: Operation not permitted

I am using OS X by the way.

I'm also having the exact same problem with both /usr/local/bin and /etc/sudoers on OSX Snow lepard.Even when i logged in as admin and tried to change the permissions via the terminal, it still says "Operation not permitted". And i did the following to get the permission of these folders.

From the terminal, I accessed /etc/sudoers file and using pico editor i added the following code: username ALL=(ALL) ALL Replace "username" with your MAC OS account name

This should resolve your problem: chmod go-w {/path/of/user}
