Question

EDIT: This seems to work on my CentOS machine but not my Ubuntu box.

$ which gem
/usr/bin/gem
$ which padrino
/usr/bin/padrino
$ which padrino-gen
/usr/bin/padrino-gen

I started playing with Sinatra but when I started thinking about some admin/authentication support I was lead to Padrino.

Problem is as follows.

I ran:

sudo gem install padrino

but then when I ran the create command, I got a command not found issue:

$ padrino g project demo-app
padrino: command not found

This seems to work in my directory where I created my heroku app because there’s a gemfile there so I can run bundle exec before the padrino command. But shouldn’t I be able to create a padrino project without a gemfile??

this worked for me in Ubuntu 11.04
