Thanks strange... I have installed Ruby 1.9.2 and that''s what comes up
in
the command line:

egervari at egervari:~/Projects/training$ ruby --version
ruby 1.9.2p180 (2011-02-18 revision 30909) [x86_64-linux]

However, you''re right... RubyMine seems to be using 1.9.1. Thanks for
the
catch! I think it''s because Ubuntu has installed 1.9.1 as a package and
Idea
detected this one over the the other one.
