cannot run a ruby script from a python script.

[Shawn Bright]

hello all. 

i have a linux computer that i use to run a GUI (wxGTK) program. In this 
program, there is a call to run an external ruby script.

command = "ruby run_my_command.rb &" 
os.system(command)

however, when it runs, i get this in the terminal
sh: 1: ruby: not found

i had considered that the path to the executable was messed up or somesuch, but 
when i just run python in the interpreter, it works fine.

also, i have another computer with identical hardware, same OS, same package 
versions that it does work on also. This machine is to be a backup. 

Another note: When i run which ruby i get the path to the ruby executable. If i 
use that in my code, it will run, however, it will not be able to find any of 
the modules that i need for the ruby script to import.

example

command = "/path/to/ruby run_my_command.rb &" 
os.system(command) 

will run the ruby script, but the ruby script will not be able to import any of 
it's modules.


thanks for any tips on this.

I tried this with the same results. 
I am executing the GUI program from a terminal. It is a data engine that only 
really can serve our company so no reason to create menu entries for it and 
such. 
It did try to execute the ruby code, but could not.

Thanks for your help.
