No. that is not it. Here is the output: ssrxgrp ~: which gem /opt/ruby-enterprise/bin/gem ssrxgrp ~: which irb /opt/ruby-enterprise/bin/irb ssrxgrp ~: which ruby /opt/ruby-enterprise/bin/ruby ssrxgrp ~:
I know this because I only installed ruby enterprise. I built this Ubuntu 8.10 slice from scratch. I then symlinked the executables in / usr/bin as shown below: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2009-05-23 03:01 ruby -> /opt/ruby- enterprise/bin/ruby lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2009-05-23 03:01 ri -> /opt/ruby- enterprise/bin/ri lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2009-05-23 03:01 rdoc -> /opt/ruby- enterprise/bin/rdoc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 2009-05-23 12:59 rails -> /opt/ruby- enterprise/bin/rails lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2009-05-23 03:00 rake -> /opt/ruby- enterprise/bin/rake lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2009-05-23 02:58 gem -> /opt/ruby- enterprise/bin/gem lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2009-05-23 02:59 irb -> /opt/ruby- enterprise/bin/irb Following the same logic, do you think that I should symlink whenever too? After all, the executables are all really in /opt/ruby- enterprise/bin directory. I had no ends of trouble with my ruby on rails install until I created the symlinks that I show above following Peter Cooper's excellent article: http://www.rubyinside.com/how-to-install-a-ruby-18-stack-on-ubuntu-810-from-scratch-1566.html Since I created those symlinks, all the problems when away. I am wondering then what is the purpose of putting /opt/ruby-enterprise/bin in the $PATH variable then? ssrxgrp /usr/bin: echo $PATH /opt/ruby-enterprise/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/ bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games Although, the immediate problem is resolved, gaps in my understanding remain.
