Hi folks. Can someone show me how to properly set up my RVM path? I keep getting this while RVM seems to be set up properly. I’m pointing to 2.2.1 yet it barfs on 2.0.0 for some reason: Warning! PATH is not properly set up, '/Users/rich/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1/bin' is not at first place,          usually this is caused by shell initialization files - check them for 'PATH=...' entries,          it might also help to re-add RVM to your dotfiles: 'rvm get stable --auto-dotfiles',          to fix temporarily in this shell session run: 'rvm use ruby-2.2.1’. I’ve done that and the last line in my .bash\_profile is this: [[-s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm” In fact I only have 2.2.1 installed, so I have no clue why it’s looking for 2.0.0: HQ:rubies rich$ gem update /Users/rich/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1/gems/psych-2.0.13/lib/psych.bundle: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 2.0.0p481 (2014-05-08 revision 45883) [universal.x86\_64-darwin14] Any help appreciated.

Hello, > ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm does indeed exist. Good. > ~/.bashrc has the single command: > > export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin” Hm, that might at least explain the error message. ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash\_profile are executed for different shells. See bash(8) and have a look at "INVOCATION". Also, read this: \<[http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/26676/how-to-check-if-a-shell-is-login-interactive-batch>\](http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/26676/how-to-check-if-a-shell-is-login-interactive-batch>%5C). However, after a `rvm use', the compilation should actually succeed. Does `gem' also belong to the RVM ruby version? `which gem' and `gem --version' should give hints. Can you post the compile logs of "gem update"? Cheers,     Eric > **···** > > On Friday 27 March 2015 13:38:22, Bee.Lists \ wrote: ---

Sorry about the delay. Some emergencies on this side. Is this for a login shell? > Invoked as an interactive login shell, or with --login > > When Bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash\_profile, ~/.bash\_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable. The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started to inhibit this behavior. The /etc/profile file: > # System-wide .profile for sh(1) > > if [-x /usr/libexec/path\_helper]; then >   eval `/usr/libexec/path_helper -s` > fi > > if ["${BASH-no}" != "no"]; then >   [-r /etc/bashrc] && . /etc/bashrc > fi > > test -f /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh && source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh There is no ~/.bash\_login The ~/.profile file: > [[-s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session \*as a function\* But the login would have read .bash\_profile because it takes all my aliases and directives. So when I’m asking for IRB, it shouldn’t be looking at 2.0.0 if rvm is set up properly. The new terminals/logins I get are looking to 2.0.0 for some reason, and I get crash reports indicating it’s looking for 2.0.0, including “gem update”. Not sure where to go with this.

Hey, > Sorry about the delay. Some emergencies on this side. hope everything went ok. > Is this for a login shell? Yes, basically: login shell:: /etc/profile, ~/.bash\_profile, ~/.bash\_login, ~/.profle interactive shell:: ~/.bashrc However, adding the stanza to both ~/.bash\_profile \*and\* ~/.bashrc would do the trick.   [[-s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" It could also be that your terminal does not start bash, but sh, in which case only ~/.profile would be parsed. Be careful: If ~/.bash\_profile \*and\* ~/.profile exist, both are readable, and the shell is started as /bin/bash, only ~/.bash\_profile will be read. You can check what interpreter is being run (/bin/sh or /bin/bash) by looking at $SHELL. I'd check all those files and the $SHELL variable just to make sure. > But the login would have read .bash\_profile because it takes all my aliases > and directives.

The new terminals/logins I get are > looking to 2.0.0 for some reason, and I get crash reports indicating it’s > looking for 2.0.0, including “gem update”. If RVM is loaded correctly, it will set your ruby paths to the default ruby, whatever that is. You can check that with `rvm list`. Try also executing `which` on different commands, i.e.   `which ruby`   `which gem`   `which irb` Perhaps some tool is missing, and thus one from /usr/bin gets picked up.

Just as an idea: rename ~/.bashrc. It doesn't seems as if you'd need it anyways. The additional `export PATH=...` for RVM there looks suspicious. Afterwards, start with a fresh terminal window and have a look at `rvm list` as well as `which ruby`. If that looks good, try `which gem`, which should also return the bash function just as previously. Building an extension \*should\* actually succeed, then.

In fact, in ~/.bash\_profile is also an export PATH=~/.rvm... stanza.

All updated, still the following comes up on gem list: Warning! PATH is not properly set up, '/Users/rich/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.2/bin' is not at first place,          usually this is caused by shell initialization files - check them for 'PATH=...' entries,          it might also help to re-add RVM to your dotfiles: 'rvm get stable --auto-dotfiles',          to fix temporarily in this shell session run: 'rvm use ruby-2.2.2'. > **···** > > > On Apr 17, 2015, at 12:51 PM, Eric MSP Veith \ wrote: > > > > In fact, in ~/.bash\_profile is also an export PATH=~/.rvm... stanza.

Yes. Which is strange because it doesn’t change the ruby version. So I get an error on gem update with 2.2.2, then I say “rvm use 2.2.2” then it works. Is there a way I can restart all of this? I tried an implode before, but it didn’t change anything. Cheers Bee > **···** > > > On Apr 17, 2015, at 2:27 PM, Eric MSP Veith \ wrote: ---

Since RVM should be self-contained, deleting ~/.rvm would do the trick. Oh, and of course removing the RVM-dependend lines from ~/.bash\_profile.
