I thought I have installed ruby 1.9.3-p327. But when I do ruby -v, it still output 1.8.7 as you see below.

What is wrong?

I use OSX 10.7.5 and I installed osx-gcc-installer and Xcode 4.5.2.

UPDATES:
I checked /User/teacher/.rvm/bin/folder and I found there are ruby-1.9.3 files.

    Using rvm install will download and compile a ruby version, but you still need to declare which version you want to use.

    Try:

    $ rvm use 1.9.3-p327

    to switch to your newly installed ruby version. To switch versions and set as default:

    $ rvm --default use 1.9.3-p327

    The rvm website has some great docs with more info.
