adding sth. to all users' PATH variable (sudo included)

Hello,

I've installed rubygems on ubuntu, but it has a known issue that the rubygems' bin/ directory is not in the PATH. I know about exporting the PATH variable, and adding it to .bashrc, but I'd like to configure it so that every user has it on his PATH, even if he tries to run it with sudo. Where should I export the PATH variable then?

/etc/bashrc (assuming they're using bash shell)

/etc/profile (ksh)

/etc/login (csh)

It didn't work for sudo. I'm on bash and on Ubuntu, if that matters. I've added to /etc/bash.bashrc
