I installed ruby as per instructions given here but when I do ruby--version then it still shows 1.8.7. How do I make sure I use newly installed Ruby?
I would suggest you to use RVM (Ruby Version Manager). You may find a full installation guide here:
http://ryanbigg.com/2011/06/mac-os-x-ruby-rvm-rails-and-you/
If you get an error such as "ERROR: Error running ' ./configure...." after executing rvm install e.g.
rvm install 1.9.3
Then you may try to install it like this:
rvm install 1.9.3 --with-gcc=clang
Note: in the guide this possible error is not described
Did you properly setup your PATH? What's the output of echo $PATH? /usr/local/bin has to come first they way this tutorial sets up things. You see that everything worked right when which ruby displays /usr/local/bin/ruby.
Personally I'd recommend using a tool for managing Ruby versions though. RVM still seems to be the most popular choice, I prefer the combination of rbenv and ruby-build.

I removed the previous version of ruby I installed, ruby 1.9.1 to be precise, on my Ubuntu, and installed version 2.2.3. When I try to run bundle install on my terminal, I get this error
bash: /usr/local/bin/bundle: /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1: bad interpreter: No such file or directory.
Can anyone advice on how to fix it?
How did you remove the old version of Ruby?
It looks like it left the binary executable for bundler, so I'm guessing you just straight up deleted the usr/bin/ruby folder? Ruby installations (and most installations) tend to create executable binaries in other folders that need to be deleted as well.
I would highly recommend that you use something like rvm or rbenv to manage multiple versions of ruby on your system. Those tools are designed to do that sort of thing and are basically industry standard at this point.
My personal recommendation is rvm, although either is really fine. If you choose to go with that, check out rvm.io for installation instructions.
It'll install rvm with the latest ruby version. In addition to that you are free to install any other version of ruby or patch that you prefer, and you can easily switch between the two using rvm use <ruby version>
I've installed Ruby on a Windows computer
After Setting Up Ruby Installer What Command line tools do you use?
http://railsinstaller.org/en
I've tried the command
rvm use 1.9.3
using the command prompt ruby and rails
I get the error message
rvm is not a recognised command
From RVM’s FAQ:
Does RVM work on windows? Will it in the future?
NO. If you would like to manage multiple versions of ruby on windows please use pik which is an excellent tool by Gordon Thiesfeld. You can find it on GitHub. There are plans to include windows support in RVM 2.0.
https://rvm.io/support/faq#does-rvm-work-on-windows-will-it-in-the-future
Doing Rails development on Windows is a little bit more of a challenge and you may run into some annoyances, but it's definitely possible.
Uru worked well for me as a nice alternative to RVM, which doesn't run on Windows. However, if you just want to have one version of Ruby installed on your computer and work with it, you don't even need to bother with Uru.
Windows is not the best environment to develop with Ruby ...
RVM doesn't work and PIK hasn't updated for more than 2 years..

This installer doesn't install RVM. It installs Ruby interpreter and Rails.
Since you've installed it, I assume you have your Ruby and libraries for it (called gems) rails and bundler. Execute gem list in your shell to verify (it should output a looong list).
Then you should create a new Rails project:
rails new project_name
...and then go into the folder that got created
cd project_name
bundle what you have:
bundle install
...and launch the server to see if it works:
rails server
or
rails s
You will likely run into issues with tzinfo gem if you're on 64-bit Windows, but that can be easily fixed by searching around StackOverflow, it's been discussed.
Gool luck to you. Developing Rails applications in Windows proved to be hard to me. Consider launching a virtual machine (using, for example, VirtualBox) with Linux aboard. That's what you could do in Linux:
install RVM as the site suggests:
curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
install the latest MRI available - feel free to replace ruby with the version you need, like rvm install 2.0.0
rvm install ruby
select and set as default the Ruby you need, you've tried a similar line apparently with Ruby 1.9.3
rvm --default use ruby
another long process
gem install rails
rails new project_name
(same as described above)
cd project_name
bundle install
rails s
That should work, and that's what you've probably seen. Again, I highly recommend using Linux in VirtualBox (or anything similar) for Rails development. A native Linux installation could only be a better environment, but most people are not ready for this just yet.
I'm having big trouble in configuring Ruby and MySQL on MacOSX. Just a fact, I'm new on MacOSX and Ruby On Rails.
So, first I was having problems to install mysql2 gem, after get the gem installed I was trying developer a test, and when I tried start the WEBrick got this error saying that couldn't load a MySQL lib called "libmysqlclient.18.dylib". Googlin' about the error I saw that everyone was recommending using Ruby through RVM. I installed RVM and tried install ruby 1.9.3 and get this error:
ERROR: The provided CC(/usr/bin/gcc) is LLVM based, it is not yet fully supported by ruby and gems, please read rvm requirements.
I'm almost giving up learn Rails, setup a development environment shouldn't be that painful. On Windows I got no problems.
Unfortunately, you're trying Rails at a bit of a bad time. There's a lot of transition at the moment, as others have mentioned Xcode 4.2 was recently released and has a new compiler, also Ruby 1.9.3 came out.
I've been developing Ruby and Rails for some years now, but trying to get up and running again after installing Lion clean this week has been more problematic than in the past.
First, make sure RVM is up to date (as the issue should be fixed):
rvm get head
Then try installing like so:
CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm install 1.9.3 --enable-shared
EDIT:
Note, working through my own issues I believe the first command probably fixed the problem. The second wouldn't have provided any benefit over:
rvm install 1.9.3
As on my clean install, /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 doesn't exist.
Also I wanted to add that I ended up compiling the older GCC manually for those situations where the new compiler fails. I followed this very informative blog post.
add --with-gcc=clang as a parameter:
rvm install ruby-1.9.3 --with-gcc=clang
Did you install the latest Xcode from Mac Store?
here is a nice guide i followed to update my ruby/Rails to 1.9.2/3.0
guide
good luck
Part of the problem is that with Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion), Apple switched C compilers, and some things don't build well with the new (LLVM) compiler yet. See http://eddorre.com/posts/rails-ultimate-install-guide-on-os-x-lion-using-rvm-homebrew-and-pow for decent instructions (note: I haven't followed these exact instructions, but they're a pretty good summary of the things I did do to get Rails working on Lion).
Once you have the C compiler issue dealt with, everything else should be pretty effortless.
Bonus tip: avoid MySQL. PostgreSQL is better in nearly every respect.
Thanks Delamenko finally got it to work
SUMMARY FOR STACK OVERFLOW
I was trying to install SiriProxy on a clean Lion installation on Xcode from App Store
I kept getting errors like :
The provided CC(/usr/bin/gcc) is LLVM based.
bash-3.2$ rvm install 1.9.3
ERROR: The provided CC(/usr/bin/gcc) is LLVM based, it is not yet fully supported by ruby and gems, please read `rvm requirements`.
After 2 days finally got it working with these two lines
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8000145/ruby-rvm-llvm-and-mysql
bash-3.2$ rvm get head
bash-3.2$ CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm install 1.9.3 --enable-shared
Before that I had tried every stackoverflow article on Ruby and Lion so doing these may have done some setup that helped the above 2 steps work:
Things I tried included:
Running Install Xcode.app (I had downloaded from App Store - running this does futher installation)
Installing
https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer/downloads may help for installing GCC.
Set up CC in
more /Users//.bash_profile
bash-3.2$ more /Users/<USERNAME>/.bash_profile
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM function
export CC=/usr/share/TargetConfigs/bin/gcc
First line came from SiriProxy install instruction
https://github.com/plamoni/SiriProxy
2nd line export CC never seemed to work. So dont add.
It had many versions each pointing
I finally used CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm install 1.9.3 --enable-shared
See Arkku's answer - I tried everything here first, then did what he said and all is well.
As of Lion 10.7.3, Xcode 4.2 and Ruby 1.9.3p0 it's what works.
I am extremely frustrated with ruby on Mac OS X. I have tried RVM and regular installations of ruby, and nothing seems to get it to work well. With RVM, rails throws errors at me, and with a regular installation of ruby 1.9.2-p180, somehow my computer reverts back to ruby 1.8.7 over time. Can someone please help? A detailed instruction on how to just reset my ruby installation from a clean slate would be very helpful.
Thanks so much in advance!
I'm using macports for all my needs:
go to www.macports.org
download installation dmg
install it
open a new Terminal windows (or source ~/.profile )
port selfupdate
port search ruby
pick what one want (ruby for 1.8.7, or ruby19 for 1.9.2)
sudo port install ruby
port search rb-
pick what want and install
everything will install into /opt - so does not interfere with your standard system binaries.
Note, than everything will compile - and take a long time.
rvm --default use 1.9.2
This has been covered multiple times here. A simple search will find many questions.
See:
Installing RVM (Ruby Version Manager)
and
i installed ruby 1.9.2 with RVM, but when i type "ruby -v" is telling me the ruby v i have is 1.8.7 (mac)
I used railstutorial.org to install the latest version of ruby and the latest version of rails on my machine.
at the end of the installation I checked
ruby -v ==> 1.9.2 (great)
rails -v ==> 3.0.1 (great)
this morning I opened up terminal
ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2009-06-08 patchlevel 369) [universal-darwin9.0]
rails -v
Rails 1.2.6
what happened?
My advice for people who are installing ruby is to use RVM. It makes managing your ruby versions and gem versions really simple and you can install multiple ruby versions side by side.
You might want to read this post:
http://rubylearning.com/blog/2010/12/20/how-do-i-keep-multiple-ruby-projects-separate/
You can use Cinderalla to the whole ruby/rvm/mysql/redis/git/... stack set up properly. Cinderella installs everything in ~/Developer and fixes up your PATH as well. I had some issues with a corrupt git mirror last time I used Cinderalla though so YMMV.
With many unix variants, you are likely to have multiple versions of Ruby--particularly if you installed Ruby 1.9 and the system already had 1.8 installed. Essentially, the 1.8 version of Ruby has a higher precedence in your PATH than the 1.9 version. The Ruby Gems command keeps the libraries separate between 1.8 and 1.9 so that the platform will be reasonably stable.
To correct the problem, you have to find where ruby 1.9 is installed. Once you do that, you'll need to override your PATH variable. Assuming 1.9 is installed in the path: /opt/ruby-1.9.2, you will need to set your PATH like this:
PATH=/opt/ruby-1.9.2/bin:$PATH
export PATH
To make the path respect what you want every time, add that to your ~/.profile file (create it if necessary). Once the path has been set, it sould be able to find the correct version of Rails again.
I cannot say for certain because I cannot debug you OSX machine from here, however, I had a very similar occurrence. The problem was caused because I had installed ruby and then rails on my machine using sudo or from the root account. Then when I discovered rvm I installed everything in my user account. When I logged off and back in I appeared to lose everything. I was pulling out my hair. I was pissed that I was going to have to reinstall everything again... when I found the magic.
from the command line execute the command:
rvm list
you'll see that your new version of ruby is there. you'll also notice the tokens that indicate that it is just a normal version. It is not current or default. (see it yet)
Now if you run the command:
rvm use 1.9.2 --default
then every time you login/off and restart your machine your user account will default to that version of ruby and all of the gems that you installed against that version.
