Error in constructor: couldn't execute "git": no such file or directory

Ok, so I am setting up a modified eggdrop bot, but after getting all the required perl modules and libraries, I am getting this error:

sudo perl run-test
Running bot 18076
tcltest

Error in constructor: couldn't execute "git": no such file or directory at tcltest.pl line 12.

Here is line 12 of tcltest.pl:

print $tcl->EvalFile("smeggdrop.tcl"),$/;

Which contains:

# smeggdrop.tcl
encoding system utf-8
set SMEGGDROP_ROOT [file dirname [info script]]

if [file exists smeggdrop.conf] {source smeggdrop.conf}
source $SMEGGDROP_ROOT/smeggdrop/smeggdrop.tcl

And smeggdr开发者_运维百科op.conf is:

# smeggdrop.conf
#
# HTTP limits
#
set smeggdrop_http_requests_per_eval  5                     ;# Maximum number of requests per eval per channel
set smeggdrop_http_request_interval   60                    ;# Interval for the smeggdrop_http_request_limit setting, in seconds
set smeggdrop_http_request_limit      25                    ;# Maximum number of requests per interval per channel
set smeggdrop_http_post_limit         150000                ;# Maximum POST body size

The problem comes from source smeggdrop/smeggdrop.tcl: smeggdrop.tcl, in turns, sources smeggdrop/versioned_interpreter.tcl which has a section like:

  method initialize_repository {} {
    mkdir_p [$self path]
    mkdir_p [$self path procs]
    mkdir_p [$self path vars]
    touch [$self path procs _index]
    touch [$self path vars _index]

    if ![$self repository_exists] {
      $self git init
      $self git add procs vars
      $self commit "Created repository"
    }
  }

That means git has to be in the PATH to be found by this perl script.

Modify the path in the right rc file (depending on your default shell), adding the git bin directory, and you won't have this issue anymore.
