Question

I have several old (pre-bundler / pre-rvm) Rails projects that use my system’s gems.

Now I’ve installed RVM to ride the latest Rails version, but my old applications are now using a gemset: (I’m not sure exactly what I did to make this happen)

~/rails_apps/rapgenius >: echo $GEM_HOME
/Users/tom/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p302

I want to use my system’s gems by default, and, if I have an .rvmrc file in a directory, I want to use the gemset it specifies in that directory. Like this:

~/rails_apps/reader2000 >: cat .rvmrc 
rvm 1.9.2@reader2000
~/rails_apps/reader2000 >: echo $GEM_HOME
/Users/tom/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0

How can I achieve this?

You can try

rvm use system --default
