I have install ruby-1.9.1 via Macport long time ago. I have upgrade to  
1.9.3 via macport but gem environment show that INSTALLATION DIRECTORY  
and GEM PATHS still point to 1.9.1

Please help I can't find how to correct it.

You could try asking on the MacPorts mailing list:

\<[http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users/&gt](http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users/&gt);

It's a very friendly, helpful list & I'm sure they can help.

Cheers,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Phil...

There is nothing to correct. That's the abi compatibility version.
