I‘ve got a binary (installed by npm) in /usr/local/bin/lessc that I would like to use some of the time. But for some Ruby projects I‘m using the LESS gem which installs a binary in ~/.rbenv/shims/lessc.

~/.rbenv/shims is before /usr/local/bin in my PATH.

I’d like to be able to use the gem-provided binary when I‘m using a ruby version where it is installed, and otherwise (default case for me) fall back to /usr/local/bin/lessc.

Currently, I get the message

`rbenv: lessc: command not found

The lessc' command exists in these Ruby versions: 1.9.2-p290

and the only way to use the npm-provided binary by specifying the whole path. It seems to me that the shim binary should fall back to other binaries that are in the PATH already if nothing is installed in the current ruby.
