If I run: rvm system ruby -v I get: ruby-192… I want the system

  • 0

If I run:

rvm system
ruby -v

I get:

ruby-192...

I want the system version that is Ruby 1.8.7.

Ruby 1.9.2 was installed using RVM. I still can see Ruby 1.8.7 if I run /usr/bin/ruby -v.

    The problem were these 2 lines below on my .profile

    export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH"

    export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH

    I commented both and the path to the system ruby went back to normal. the Tin Man tip was crucial to find what the problem was.

    I had one ruby version in /usr/local/bin/ruby and another in /usr/bin/ruby

    After I commented the lines mysql stopped working by I reinstalled with brew and everything seems to be working
