rspec users - Nov 2010 - How to setup rspec to be included on the PATH

I''ve recently installed a copy of rspec (2.0.0) on my Linux
distribution
(Ubuntu 9.10).  All went well.  However, when I attempt to access cucumber
from the shell, like so

$ rspec --help

I receive the following:

No command ''rspec'' found

I know there is a simple solution to this, likely dealing with the PATH
environment variable.  Any help in pointing me to a solution where I can get
rspec setup on my PATH would be most appreciated.  I used the following
command taken from the RSpec book to install rspec

sudo gem intall rspec --version 2.0.0

Thanks.

You mean "attempt to access rspec," right?

Please run "gem env" and look at the section of the output that starts
with "GEM PATHS" and make sure that all of the paths listed there
(there may only be one) are included in your PATH.

Yes, I meant rspec.  My apologies for the typo.  I''m running into the
same
problem with cucumber and inadvertently confused the two.  I''ve gone
ahead
and added 3 additional values to my PATH environment variable.  My PATH
variable now looks like

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/home/rstagner/firefox:/var/lib/gems/1.8:/home/rstagner/.gem/ruby/1.8:/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin

In addition to adding the "GEM PATHS" variables to my PATH
environment, I''ve
also included the "EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin"
setting,
which seemed to do the trick. Thanks for the information!!!

Regards,
Robert
