Git user needs root permissions?

Created by: xelab

Hi,

i can't install Gitlab on Debian 7 (i followed the doc) because it seems that's impossible to install charlock_holmes gem without root permissions. Here the errors when running :

sudo -u git -H bundle install --deployment --without development test postgres aws
Using timers (1.1.0)
Using celluloid (0.15.2)

Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary
libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more details.  You may
