ok, gen env points me to

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/slideshow-0.2/bin/slideshow

Slideshow has a normal Linux shebang setup, ie

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'rubygems'
require 'slideshow'
Slideshow.main

If I mark the file executable and run it from the directory containing
the sample, it doesn't work.

Something about the gem setup must be wrong.
