I am using ruby on rails on Ubuntu 11.10. Ruby 1.8.7 works fine but I cannot get rvm to work with 1.9.3 or any other version.

When I run rvm reload, rvm list or rvm info, I get the following message:

bash: /usr/bin/rvm: No such file or directory

I have Ruby 1.9.3 installed via rvm and when I change the default it doesn't give me an error. But then when I check the ruby -v it defaults back to 1.8.7.

Also, when I check which ruby it shows the following:

/usr/local/bin/ruby

My guess is that it has something to do with the bash file. What do you suggest?

I am guessing that it isn't even installing it correctly.

This is what happens: I type the following into the prompt:

bash < <(curl -sk https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer)

And it outputs:

ERROR: Unable to checkout branch .

  • Have you emailed the author of RVM directly? Wayne is very responsive and has been able to help me the few times I had a question. Get his email from the output of rvm version, and send him an email describing what you have done and include the output of rvm info. Commented Dec 31, 2011 at 20:38

Are you following the installation instructions from the rvm site? http://beginrescueend.com/rvm/install/

If you are then look at section 2 about the shell again. specifically this command that they tell you to run :-)

echo '[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM function' >> ~/.bash_profile

remember to reload or restart your shell after running that command.

I'll have to try re-installing it... I did follow those instructions but it is still not working right.

run the command

source /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm

and then

type rvm | head -1

you should get output -

rvm is a function.

And after that run

rvm use rvm use 2.0.0 --default
