Django-mediagenerator can't find Sass

Question

I'm trying to setup django-mediagenerator with Sass, but whenever it tries to compile the .scss files, I get the following error:

ValueError: Failed to execute Sass. Please make sure that you have installed Sass (http://sass-lang.com) and Compass (http://compass-style.org). Error was: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I've installed both the sass and compass gems...

gem install sass
gem install compass

...And I can verify that they are both installed...

sass --version
compass --version

What exactly have I missed? Does sass need to be installed in a specific location? Do I need to set up some sort of virtual environment like I have with python?

Edit: If I run which sass I get the following:

/Users/USER_NAME/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin/sass

I've included the results of `which sass` in the question :) — NT3RP, Nov 06 '12 at 18:59

django-mediagenerator assumes that the sass executable is in the PATH environment variable. In this case, your web server is not running with the same PATH as your normal user environment. You should either add /Users/USER_NAME/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin/ to the PATH where the web server is launched, or install sass and compass in a location which is already included.
