Hi, I used macports to install ruby 1.9 (because my rubygems fell off the map when I installed fxruby >.<)

$which ruby1.9 /opt/local/bin/ruby1.9

$which gem1.9 /opt/local/bin/gem1.9

But I'm pretty sure my Ruby bundle is still using 1.8, Is there a relatively pain-free way to switch it over?

Hi, it's not clear as to why you switched to Ruby 1.9. In any case, do you plan to make it your primary Ruby version? If this is the case, I would recommend one of the following options:

a) Install Ruby 1.9 via MacPorts using the following:

sudo port install ruby19 +c_api_docs +nosuffix

b) Install Ruby 1.9 via Ruby Version Manager

1) install RVM

mkdir -p ~/.rvm/src/ && cd ~/.rvm/src && rm -rf ./rvm/ && git clone git://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm.git && cd rvm && ./install

2) install Ruby 1.9

rvm install 1.9.1

For more information about RVM, I would recommend referencing the following website:

Good luck,

-Conrad

Hmm, it seems that if I run TextMate from the command line, then it finds the correct version, but if I run it from Applications folder, Spotlight, or Quicksilver, then it always pulls up the the system version (1.8.6)

Is there an easy way to remedy this? If not, I can just always run it from the command line.

Tested with the code

RUBY_VERSION # => 1.8.6

And running the file with control+command+shift+e to get the tag to update.

Have a look at this blog post: http://justaddwater.dk/2009/03/10/textmate-path-modification-ruby-version-is...

Make sure your that you set PATH in TextMate's Preferences (Advanced -> Shell Variables) to reflect what you have in Terminal.app. You can also try setting TM_RUBY to the full path of the version of Ruby that you wish to use.

Good luck!

@Adam - Josh wants Textmate to reference the correct Ruby version when he switches it on the command line using RVM. Thus, he doesn't want to hard-code any particular version.

There is two ways to set which ruby TextMate should use. Setting PATH as has already been mentioned, or setting TM_RUBY to the exact binary, e.g. /usr/bin/ruby.

I believe there is a version of RVM which maintains a symlink to the “current” ruby, so one should set TM_RUBY to that symlink, or alternatively, let PATH include the directory of this symlink.

[...] On the FAQ for rvm ( http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/faq/ ), I also found where they talk about how to set it up, and go around modifying files. I did the modifications, but if it got me something better than that first link, I couldn't tell, so I took them back out (they made me a little nervous).

Good call, those instructions are EXTREMELY BAD! Someone did write them to ask for removal as not only is this a fix, you may end up breaking lots of unrelated stuff that use the ruby process library.
