Question

I’m running Ubuntu 11.10 and have installed rvm using the standard instructions listed here — this included using rvm to install ruby 1.9.3. Once completed, I ran rvm use 1.9.3 and then created a gemset titled rails321, set rvm to use 1.9.3 and gem install rails into that gemset. Finally, I’m attempting to create an .rvmrc file in a directory with the below, but I’m getting a permission denied error:

I’m faily new in this environment, so I’d love some help. Thanks 🙂

You probably lack write permissions in ~/projects/simple. Use ls -dal . .rvmrc to check the owner and permission bits of the directory and the file in case it already exists.
