/usr/bin/env: ruby 1.8: No such file or

I'm working w开发者_开发百科ith Xubuntu 11.04.

I do not succeed to have thin running at server startup.

when I try the command:

/etc/init.d/thin start

I get the following message:

/usr/bin/env: ruby 1.8: No such file or ...

But the commands ruby -v is working fine and the result is ruby 1.8.7 (2011-02-18 patchlevel334) Ruby enterprise

rails -v is also working fine and the result is Rails 2.3.5

If I do the command sudo thin -C configfile.yml start then the thin server is starting without any issue.

Why can't it be started with the server? What can I do to have it working?

The thin script is a usual one which is working fine on a Debian-lenny

I got the some error when using sudo gem install unicorn, and find a solution here. When ruby is not installed in the location /usr/bin/ruby, you need give a full path of ruby which means you need to use command like follows:

/full/path/to/ruby /etc/init.d/thin start  

Hope this also works for you.

The header of your file should be:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

If you include any additional arguments they should be flags for ruby itself, as others may be interpreted as a script name.

What you may have is:

#!/usr/bin/env "ruby 1.8"

Unless you have an executable named ruby 1.8 including the space, that won't work.
