Answer 1

If you run RVM and want its default ruby, use:

let g:ruby_path = "/Users/allen/.rvm/rubies/default/bin"

If you set your ruby interpreter in your project .rvmrc file, you can create an environment variable in your .rvmrc:

rvm 1.9.2@projectname --create
export RUBY_BIN=`which ruby | sed 's/ruby$//'`

You can use environment variables in your .vimrc:

let g:ruby_path=$RUBY_BIN

(Note you should also set a default $RUBY_BIN in your .bashrc or .zshrc so this works outside of .rvmrc projects.)

If your ~/.rvm/rubies/default/bin path does not yet exist, you need to set your rvm system default of ruby. At your command prompt or terminal application, enter:

rvm use 1.9.2 --default

using whatever ruby version you need.
