What directory is rspec in?
Other posts refer to /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin, but my
install does not have the “bin”:
~$ ls /var/lib/gems/1.8/
cache doc gems specifications
Thanks.
Make sure that version 1 of rspec is NOT installed!
Here is my path:
/home/rich/.gem/ruby/1.8:/var/lib/gems/1.8:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

So rspec is the only gem you obtain?
What version of RubyGems do you have?
Asking this because when I install rspec I get 3 more gems:
https://rubygems.org/gems/rspec/versions/2.0.0
rspec-mocks = 2.0.0
rspec-expectations = 2.0.0
rspec-core = 2.0.0
Inside rspec-core is rspec command.
Also, since you’re using Ubuntu, you need to have
/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin added to the PATH.
Please check the above and let us know.

Thanks Luis. I uninstaled rubygems1.8 and reinstalled rubygems1.8 and
rspec. This time it worked.
Here is how I did the installed. Install rubygems1.8 from the Ubuntu
Software Center. Then from the terminal:
gem install rspec -v 2.0.0
WARNING: Installing to ~/.gem since /var/lib/gems/1.8 and
/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin aren’t both writable.
WARNING: You don’t have /home/wolf/.gem/ruby/1.8/bin in your PATH,
gem executables will not run.
Thank you for installing rspec-core-2.0.0
Please be sure to look at Upgrade.markdown to see what might have
changed
since the last release.

Thanks Richard. Adding the home .gem/ruby/1.8 path did not help. I
have rspec version 2 installed. How do I make sure version 1 is not
installed?
Here is a copy&paste from my terminal:
~$ printenv PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/home/wolf/.gem/ruby/1.8
~$ ls -a /home/wolf/.gem/ruby/1.8
