Answer 1

You obviously have a path problem as git is not in your path.

First, are you trying to install RVM as root or not?
Second, make sure git, and not git gem is installed and add it to your path like this(as root)

$: export PATH=/path/to/git/directory:$PATH

After running this command make sure which git return /path/to/git/directory/git.

Finally, you can try and re install the system wide RVM.
