I tried that and it doesn't work either. Apparently the issue wasn't search 
path. Logan explained what has happened there (although I'm not sure what he 
meant by ruby thinks, "I can handle this myself". How?)

I was expecting system call would result exactly the same as if the command 
was executed in the shell itself. If there's a problem with the executed 
command, I would've thought I'd be able to replicate it from the shell. 
'command not found' was a rather puzzling error message for me.

I don't know ruby in and out, but I'm sure there is a good reason ruby does 
this.
