My PATH is set with the /opt/ruby/bin pointer in the front. When I run /usr/bin/env on *any* of the many RHEL5 systems I have, it just hangs. Some of these I didn't set up, some are just stock RHEL installs. So I don't know whether this is a configuration problem or not.
By install script, I meant one that actually installs mcollective. Regardless of /usr/bin/env I think this makes some sense for people that want to do a manual install vs. RPM. As for the PATH issue with ruby, I suppose that's everyone's personal choice. I could use 'alternatives' to create links in standard locations to help mitigate PATH issues, of course.
