All commands don't install correctly with 2.1.8 or 2.2.2 on Ubuntu 14.04

When I try to install git-whistles on a newly (and correctly :-) installed Ruby 2.1.8 or 2.2.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 using gem install git-whistles, the scripts from the libexec directory don't get linked anywhere, and so git-chop, git-list-branches, git-merge-po, and git-stash-and-checkout won't be accessible without manual intervention (i.e. without symlinking them to someplace on the path, such as to the current ruby's bin directory).

The following error also shows up, but executing gem pristine as suggested doesn't do any good:

/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.8/gems/git-whistles-1.1.0/bin/git-chop maybe `gem pristine git-whistles` will fix it?
/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.8/gems/git-whistles-1.1.0/bin/git-list-branches maybe `gem pristine git-whistles` will fix it?
/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.8/gems/git-whistles-1.1.0/bin/git-merge-po maybe `gem pristine git-whistles` will fix it?
/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.8/gems/git-whistles-1.1.0/bin/git-stash-and-checkout maybe `gem pristine git-whistles` will fix it?

.. and, in fact, the mentioned scripts are not present in the mentioned directory (only in ../libexec).

Hey @vwal which rubygems version are you using?

[vwal]

@pedrocunha It's 2.4.8.

I think they have fixed recently problems with symlinks, can you try updating to the latest and reinstalling the gem please?

Currently my system:

> gem -v
2.6.2

Yes, that did it, thank you! I haven't used Ruby much, so I didn't think of needing to update rubygems. I applied:

gem install rubygems-update
update_rubygems
gem update --system

.. and then uninstalled/reinstalled git-whistles, and now it's working without problems.

Great! Glad to know all it is good
