Description

running 

/usr/bin/facter
fail with:

/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:383:in `bin_path':
  can't find executable facter for facter-1.5.5 (Gem::Exception)
  from /usr/bin/facter:19

running: 

ruby -rubygems /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/facter-1.5.5/bin/facter
work as expected.

As far i can see there is no executables declared in the gem spec. Here is a small fix for it:

This has nothing to do with my ruby/gem setup. The specification for the facter gem is wrong, or at least it is incompatible with rubygems 1.3.3. The patch i posted fix this issue.
