I’m curious if it’s possible to set my default Ruby interpreter within my $HOME/.rvmrc file (i.e. the equivalent of a rvm --default use 1.9.2).

I tried setting rvm_ruby_interpreter and rvm_ruby_version, but no luck.

    Just cleaning out my unanswered questions… I ended up basically taking Phrogz’s suggestion and adding this to my .zprofile:

    RVM_DEFAULT=ruby-1.9.3-p194@home
if [ -x ~/.rvm/bin/rvm-prompt ] && [ "$(~/.rvm/bin/rvm-prompt)" != $RVM_DEFAULT ] ; then
  rvm use $RVM_DEFAULT
fi

    Looking back it’s kind of a weird question, probably due to the fact that I was new to rvm and relatively new to Ruby (but familiar with Unix and dotfiles).
