20:06 <mrgrieves> hi, you probably get this a lot but I'm trying to find the right way to deal with gems as root. I just installed the puppet gem which places the gem binaries under /usr/local/bin/ but if I try for example "sudo puppet --version" I get "-bash: puppet: command not found". Any suggestions or pointer in what the problem might be? here's my gem env output http://pastebin.com/p5JafAHk

20:07 <jhass> ensure /usr/local/bin is in your $PATH ?

20:08 <mrgrieves> jhass: thanks, do you think that's the best practice to deal with this?

20:09 <jhass> yes

20:09 <mrgrieves> I'm asking because this is a fresh fedora install and maybe being optimistic I was expecting the ruby+rubygems install to deal with this

20:09 <jhass> (I can't imagine any other than always using the full path...)

20:09 <mrgrieves> but I guess the binaries are placed there because that's the way gem packager decided

20:13 <mrgrieves> cheers

20:13 <imperator> mrgrieves, sudo env "PATH=$PATH" puppet --version perhaps?

20:13 <imperator> or add /usr/local/bin to /etc/sudoers ?

20:21 <mrgrieves> imperator: I think that's a good idea
