I have been really struggling with installing pygments.rb and did not find solution whatsoever.

This is the error code:

PS C:\Users\PC\Desktop> gem install pygments.rb

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)
Permission denied @ rb_file_s_symlink - (vendor/pygments-main/scripts/debug_lexer.py, C:/tools/ruby23/lib/ruby/gems/

2.3.0/gems/pygments.rb-1.1.1/vendor/pygments-main/scripts/find_error.py)

This appears to be a known issue. The reporter indicates:

For some reason, when the gem is packaged and subsequently installed, the symlink from find_error.py to debug_lexer.py in vendor/pygments-main/scripts. Perhaps we can either delete this symlink or reify it during packaging.

...

I guess RubyGems recently started supporting symlinks when packaging, which is why this all of a sudden became a problem.
