Someone who is using the google-appengine gem, please give some tips on  
getting setup. If you get this working, please let us know what the  
missing setups are. The directions for rails-primer expect that  
appcfg.rb is added to the path. This is not the case.

Of course, it is not as simple as putting this in the path. There is  
something missing. I have tried with Ubuntu and Windows.

Thank you,  
Jimmy

I hacked my path with this:  
PATH=“`find /var/lib/gems/1.8 -name bin -type d -printf "%p:"`$PATH”

But this ruby statement still fails:

appcfg.rb:19 \>\> load Gem.bin\_path(‘appengine-tools’, ‘appcfg.rb’,  
version)

the error:

/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/appcfg.rb:19:in `load’: no such file to load –  
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/appengine-tools-0.0.5/bin/appcfg.rb (LoadError)  
from /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/appcfg.rb:19
