<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Sounds like you should check $PATH
before and after the change to see what it's actually doing.
Whatever you want to run, say your version of ruby in
/some/dir/ruby, needs to appear earlier in the path than the
system version, say /usr/bin/ruby... period. It's not rocket
science. However, it's not totally straightforward, either. Some
updated command locations require that the shell be rehashed
after changing the path cuz the shell may cache the location - <font
face="monospace">hash -r,</font> or equivalent. That said, it's
usually pilot error messing with path.<br>
<br>
echo "PATH: $PATH"<br>
before setting and after to see what's going on. then it's just a
matter of figuring out which ruby comes first.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Yeah, this is the answer. You always want
`/opt/local/bin/` to be near the start of your path.
Only stuff that you specifically want to override
MacPorts should be before it. (Examples of things you
may want before: RVM or NVM or any of the version
managers that put things in your home)

<div dir="ltr">No problem. The system ruby
showing up instead of MacPorts-installed
Ruby would be *probably* because your
$PATH has `/opt/local/bin` *after*
`/usr/bin`. Typically, one wants to have
Macports (or other third-party package
systems) *before* /usr/local/bin and
/usr/bin.
