Upgrading to ruby 1.9 on Leopard 1.5.8 +

[Luca Reghellin]

Hi. First: I'm new to mailing-lists, so I don't know if I'm doing right
by answering directly to the email with 'answer-all'. Please correct me
if this is not the right way to use the mailing-list.

Well, ok,

- removed the wrong part from .profile
- installed ruby19
- now ruby1.9 seems to work fine.

Now: how do I know if when I run rails and gem commands, they're under 
ruby1.9 or not? And if not, how can I do it?

My final goal in fact, would be to have and use all the latest versions 
of [gem], rails and ruby. I've updated rails to 2.3.4, but I suspect the 
gem I used is under ruby 1.8.6, isn't it?

Or should I use something like gem1.9 and install another version of 
rails? But in that case, the command 'rails', which would be?

Yes, quite a mess, please excuse me, I'm not an expert in this field.

Bye!
