Question

I\'m going through the rails by example tutorial.

Its seems that every time I close terminal rails defaults back to 2.3.5 & I have to go through the process of insta

Answer 1

The problem is almost-assuredly RVM interpreting 2.3.5 as your default rails version in your default gem set. I ran into this problem myself when first experimenting with RVM. Try this:

rvm --default use 1.9.2 (or whatever you want your default ruby interpreter to be)
rvm gemset create rails-3.0.3
rvm use 1.9.2@arails-3.0.3 --default
gem install rails

That will:

• Set your default ruby interpreter to the desired ruby version
• Create a gemset for your Rails 3.0.3 install and make it your default gemset
• Install rails

Once you close the terminal and open it back up, it'll load RVM's defaults, putting you back on Rails 3.0.3 again.
