How to set the gem path so it sees system deps

Hello Sean,

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8

is my local path, but rubymine in my home dir is not catching it. How can I set this?

Could you please execute 2 commands:

which ruby

which gem
And post result here?

Regards,
Oleg

lepton:~ seanskye$ which ruby
/usr/local/bin/ruby
lepton:~ seanskye$ which gem
/usr/local/bin/gem  

or better yet

lepton:~ seanskye$ gem environment

but rubymine still says i don't have the gems installed in my project....

Hello Sean,

Lets ask RubyMine to recreate Ruby SDK settings:
1. File | Settings | RubySDK and Gems, press Remove SDK button
2. press "Apply" button
3. press "Add SDK.." button and select path to your ruby interpreter
4. press "Apply"
5. press "Attach Gems..." button. Then RM should show you local gems (the same list as in output of "gems list" command)

Also please show output of command

ruby -e "require 'rubygems'; puts Gem.path"

Cool. That works. So, perhaps it would be nice to be able to get what the ide thinks is the equiv of gem local --list and gem environment....

thanks
now to see how your ide stacks

Sean,

Thanks for the suggestion, I agree that displaying Gem environment information may be useful in RM. I've filled an issue http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/RUBY-3944.
