Re: Ruby issue: Installed gems are not in path


Command "gem environment" should tell you where the binaries are installed.

I had the same issue on Friday.  All the Googling I did couldn't help.
With a bit of luck, I discovered the binaries are usually installed in
"~/bin" for Cygwin.

Does it work for you?
