Binaries installed with Rubygems not found
Philipp Lange
When I try to run binaries installed with "gem" (for example rdoc), it says the program is currently not installed.
I'm running Linux Mint, and everything Ruby-related was installed through apt-get/Aptitude. Ruby version 1.9.1 plus the bundled Rubygems.

Hi there,
That definitely seems strange, perhaps they're not on your PATH? What gems did you try to install? Can you paste your
gem env?3 Posted by Philipp Lange on 03 Nov, 2010 11:58 AM
...in the meanwhile, I found out that there are just some problems with Debian-related distros; a manual installation from source of
gemsolved it. Thank you anyways!4 Posted by Philipp Lange on 03 Nov, 2010 12:15 PM
I found out what the problem was; the 1.9.* package of Ruby apparently contains a flawed version of RubyGems, with some custom_require.rb removed or something. A manual reinstallation of RubyGems from source fixed everything.
Thank you anyways!

I found and fixed the problem in the meantime;
Apparently, the Ruby package I downloaded lacks one file (custom_require.rb) that makes the whole thing go to hell. I manually reinstalled RubyGems from source, and everything works now.
Thank you anyways!
