rubyrvmruby-2.0bash

Getting "Warning! PATH is not properly set up" when doing rvm use 2.0.0 --default

Above doesn't work first time, works 2nd time.

Try to set ruby version to 2.0.0 for any new shell windows.

Doing

$ rvm use 2.0.0 --default

gives

Warning! PATH is not properly set up, '/home/durrantm/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p125/
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 --au
to-dotfiles',
         to fix temporarily in this shell session run: 'rvm use ruby-1.9.3-p125'
.
Using /home/durrantm/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247

Then doing the same

$ rvm use 2.0.0 --default

now gives no error, i.e.

$ rvm use 2.0.0 --default
Using /home/durrantm/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247
durrantm.../durrantm$

but new windows are still giving me ruby 1.9.3, not 2.0.0

My .bashrc file has in it:

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin # Add RVM to PATH for scripting
[[ -s "/home/durrantm/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "/home/durrantm/.rvm/scripts/rvm"

My .bash_profile has:

source ~/.profile
case $- in *i*) . ~/.bashrc;; esac

Trying

rvm get stable

seems to work but at the end of a lot of green output shows: 

Could not update RVM, get some help at #rvm IRC channel at freenode servers.

A new terminal windows with rvm list rubies shows this:

$ rvm list rubies
Warning! PATH is not properly set up, '/home/durrantm/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p125/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-1.9.3-p125'.

rvm rubies

=> ruby-1.9.3-p125 [ x86_64 ]
   ruby-1.9.3-p194 [ x86_64 ]
 * ruby-2.0.0-p247 [ x86_64 ]

# => - current
# =* - current && default
#  * - default
Solution

  • The answer was to put this:

    [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" 
# Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*

    **at the BOTTOM** (last line - important!) of my .bashrc file. I had it in my .bash_profile file (I am on Ubuntu) and that only partially worked leading to the confusing errors.
