Hi, Phillip.

What is occurring is on my OS X box I'm using rvm to handle Ruby which
it does fine. However an anomaly occurs whenever I call sudo port
selfupdate & upon the ports finishing their job instead of rvm being set
as Ruby control the Ruby I have installed in /opt/local/bin is now
active (see previous post for gist).

I have also a System supplied Ruby but that is never called. So I was
trying to establish the cause of the anomaly in order to correct it.

Several things have since transpired whilst I've been looking into this:

If I open a new terminal window that is apart from the project workspace
(for want of a better word) I use in iTerm2 (six tabs running different
jobs) & call sudo port selfupdate, all works as should be i.e. rvm in
all open windows/tabs is still in charge so to speak of the Ruby
version. So that's one workaround initially.

However, the other thing I discovered was that if I source my
bash_profile in any tab or window, the Ruby again switches to the
/opt/local/bin/ruby (opening a new window or tab reverts this behaviour
to what's actually written in bash_profile: i.e. rvm's Rubies).

At this point, having spent far too long on this, I'm just about to cut
my losses & uninstall the Ruby in /opt/local & just get on with things.
However, I'd like to make it perfectly clear that I'm not apportioning
any blame to either Mac Ports, rvm or anything else for that matter.
Contrarily, I'd like to thank everybody for their time, help & advice.

Cheers,

  Phil...
