Hey there,

I’m trying to install the autotest.

After installing all the pre-requisites, I installed the sudo gem  
install  
autotest-notification

It tells me to execute an-install

which gives me, command not found.

Any1?

It should be CAN’T make, duh.

Okay, after installing the gem this is what I get…

To turn on the notifier you need to run the following command:  
an-install

To turn off:  
an-uninstall

Need help on this.

Guys,

What happens is that my var/lib/gems/bin folder wasn’t in the path,  
(that’s  
where it installs the an-install script)

I put it on the path and it works.
