I have a Macbook with Snow Leopard and Macports. I have successfully run the script displayed below the heading "The following script will boostrap git + RVM..." on the page: http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/rvm/install/ However I can find no .bash_profile or .bashrc on my machine. The closest existing files are .profile in my root, .bash_login in my root, and setup.bash.in in a subfolder of Macports. I have tried adding: [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # This loads RVM into a shell session. to each of them but the result is the same after closing Terminal and reopening it: $ rvm list -bash: rvm: command not found Should I be creating a file and adding that line? If so, what should I call it and where should I put it? Is there some other solution? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Remove the script loading line from any file you''ve put it in so far. It needs to go in ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile. If they aren''t there, create them and put that line in there. If you need more help, please visit the irc chat #rvm on freenode, as this mailing list is designated for rails discussion and RVM is not rails specific in any way.

You only need to use your .profile in your home directory. Once changed you need to make sure you type . /.profile to reload it. Have a look at my .profile http://gist.github.com/606002 -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

It''s what I''ve always used on Mac OS X and haven''t run into any problems with it yet. I suppose ~/.bash_profile is a bit more specific when using bash as your default shell. I''m not sure what other implications there may be to using the more generic ~/.profile, but as I said I''ve not run into any issues using it.> I have a Macbook with Snow Leopard and Macports.This is just and FYI in case you haven''t yet heard of it, but I much prefer Homebrew over Macports. I tried Macports a year or two ago and was constantly frustrated by its invasive nature. Homebrew feels much less intrusive to me. Maybe some people don''t mind a package manager that wants to take over your machine, but I''m not one of them. http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thank you for the Link - I know it well. .profile is the standard for any Snow Leopard Mac according to the Docs. I originally kept everything within .bash_profile and .bashrc and changed over on upgrade. Google for the release docs to find out more. Hope you manage to solve it.

You need to create a .bash_profile in root directory, which is usually your name. Then once .bash_profile exists, if you use textmate, do: mate .bash_profile and add this line: source ~/.profile And then it should work. That''s becuase .profile is what contains the path and you are just pointing to it from .bash_profile. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

It looks like the .profile is loaded when no .bash_profile exists, but that the .bash_profile supercedes .profile when it is found, preventing it from being loaded. Adding source ~/.profile will fix the problem, yet as John Merlino has made a good point about the two I have switch everything over to .bash_profile Thanks John -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
