Forum: RSpec CRITICAL: Rspec gem install > spec command not found!

I have the beta release of the RSpec book. Trying to run the greeting
example 'Hello World'

Using brew as package manager

Installed rspec gem using

$ sudo gem install rspec

kristian-mandrups-macbook-pro:rspec-coding kristianconsult$ gem list

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

abstract (1.0.0)
actionmailer (3.0.pre, 2.3.5)
...
cucumber (0.6.2)
cucumber-rails (0.2.4)
..
rspec (1.3.0)
rspec-rails (1.3.2)
...

My system used the spec in jruby first, so I removed jruby from the
equation!

kristian-mandrups-macbook-pro:rspec-coding kristianconsult$ spec -help
-bash: spec: command not found

Then trying uninstall
kristian-mandrups-macbook-pro:rspec-coding kristianconsult$ sudo gem
uninstall rspec

Where should the spec command be found?
I created some rails generators myself with executables, so I assume
the rspec gem install comes with a /bin directory with a spec
executable?

I really wanna start learning BDD today!
Thanks!

If you're using Homebrew[1] (?) you'll need to figure out where it's 
storing binaries.

Run "find / -name spec" to locate the command.  Then run "echo $PATH" 
and check that the directory containing "spec" is in the list.  If not 
you'll need to add it in your .bashrc or something (I don't use bash).
