"gem install bundler --version=0.8.1" doesn't install the bundle executable

Question

When trying to install Bundler 0.8.1 on Ubuntu machine, it install fine but the executable "bundle" is no where to be seen. Other gems install successfully, including their executables.

using: "gem install bundler --version=0.8.1"

RubyGems Environment:
- RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.3.7
- RUBY VERSION: 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [i486-linux]
- INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /home/ahammad/gems

- REMOTE SOURCES:

"/home/ahammad/gems/bin" has been added to PATH, the problem is there is no bundle exe.

any ideas?

Answer 1

never mind, apparently 0.8.1 uses "gem bundle" rather than "bundle"

Answer 2

That might be. I've used only 1.0. But I had the same problem. A tutorial assumed I could run "bundle". It was fixed only after following the directions here http://lindsaar.net/2010/3/31/bundle_me_some_sanity The directions involve installing rvm and creating an app directory with a .rvmrc file among other things. Then in that directory you can run "bundle". The binary is ~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p302@railsplugins/bin/bundle
