svn2git is not put in my PATH

[JensRantil]

The readme states that

Once you have the necessary software your system, you can install svn2git through rubygems, which will add the svn2git command to your PATH.

This is not true. I managed to find svn2git in /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/svn2git. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx).

Are you using the system version of Ruby? If not now, it used to auto-add that path to the PATH. And every ruby installation I've ever come across has that gem bin entry in the PATH. I'm open to improvements on the documentation.

Yes:

$ dpkg -l|grep ruby
[...]
ii  ruby                                      4.2
                                              An interpreter of object-oriented scripting language Ruby
$ ruby -v

I'll have to try it out on a newer Ubuntu release. This sounds like an Ubuntu bug to me.

Could be, could be.

Any work arounds? Google isn't helping me.

@davidneudorfer I mean, you could always put the equivalent of /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin (in my example) in your PATH. Another idea is to create a synlink to svn2git in a directory that's already in your PATH. Or did I misunderstand you?
