Question

I am hosting on a vps, ubuntu 10.04, rails 3, ruby and mysql installed correctly by following some tutorials. If I run bundle check or bundle install I get the error ‘-bash: bundle: command not found’. From gem list --local I see ‘bundler (1.0.2, 1.0.0)’ is installed.

I don’t know what’s going wrong…

gem environment returns:

 RubyGems Environment:
  - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.3.7
  - RUBY VERSION: 1.8.7 (2010-04-19 patchlevel 253) [i686-linux]
  - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2010.02/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
  - RUBY EXECUTABLE: /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2010.02/bin/ruby

  - REMOTE SOURCES:

and echo $PATH returns:

/opt/myruby/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/bin/gem:/opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2010.02/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/:/root/.gem/ruby/1.8

and which gem returns:

/usr/bin/gem

locate bundle returns:

/opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2010.02/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/

You need to add the ruby gem executable directory to your path

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2010.02/bin
