I'm afraid I've never configured an alternative gem path, so I'm not speaking from direct experience here. But if it simply requires a new GEM_PATH environment variable, you can simply do this in your config/deploy.rb:
default_environment["GEM_PATH"] = "/first/path:/second/path:..." In other words, set the complete GEM_PATH. - Jamis On 9/16/07, Drinkingbird <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The variable isn't set in either of those files. > > I should have been clear in the first post that I've set the gem path > in the rails app environment, and that is working within the app, so I > know that the gem is properly installed. > > I've also tried setting the gem path in ~/.ssh/environment, with no > luck. > > So, what is the proper way to set the remote gem path in capistrano? > > - Chris > > On Sep 16, 12:52 am, "Jamis Buck" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Where are you setting the ENV['GEM_PATH'] bit?
