rubygems and .bash_profile

Wednesday, 31 December 2008

Quick note

If you're on Debian Linux, add this to your .bash_profile so rubygems gets loaded in your environment and is available in IRB and Require 'gem' calls

export RUBYOPT=rubygems

Save, reload and you should be fine.

Seems less an issue on OSX and Ubuntu but causes a problem on Debian Etch.
