Hey Conrad,
Hi Eloy, I have spent a bit of time with it. Here's what I did to get things going:
1) sudo gem install rvm
2) add the following to your .profile after the last 'export PATH=' setting:
if [ -s ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm ] ; then source ~/.rvm/scripts/ rvm ; fi
Note: I didn't like running the 'rvm-install' because it created several different shell files:
~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc
where each file contained similar content.
Yeah this is I think where it went wrong for me. Thanks! I'll give that a try tonight.
Rubygems is great but the RVM team was able to get something working in a short amount of time.
Yeah, but the point is that this is a problem of RubyGems, nobody else's even though others provide workarounds. Ruby allows one to specify the prefix/suffix, so RubyGems should inherit this transparently imo. But I think that in the end we agree on how the user should experience this, ie transparent :) Eloy
