Today I decided to finally upgrade my Ruby on Rails setup at home. But upon running the rails -v<\/span><\/span><\/code> command, I ran into this error:<\/p>\n

bash: \/<\/span>opt\/<\/span>local\/<\/span>bin\/<\/span>rails: \/<\/span>opt\/<\/span>local\/<\/span>bin\/<\/span>ruby: bad interpreter: No such file<\/span> or directory<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n

Turns out for some reason there’s another (non-working) copy of rails in my \/<\/span>opt\/<\/span>local\/<\/span>bin\/<\/span><\/span><\/code> directory. To fix the problem, I simply had to remove it (along with rake<\/span><\/code> and other related executables out of there).<\/p>\n

On a related note, I also tried upgrading rvm<\/span><\/code>. But while trying to upgrade Ruby to the latest 1.9.3 with it using the rvm install<\/span> 1.9.3<\/span><\/code>, I kept getting this error:<\/p>\n

curl: (<\/span>7<\/span>)<\/span> couldn't connect to host<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n

Finally, what worked was this:<\/p>\n

curl -L<\/span> get.rvm.io |<\/span> bash<\/span> -s<\/span> stable --ruby<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n

And to bind that to rails, similarly, do this:<\/p>\n

curl -L<\/span> get.rvm.io |<\/span> bash<\/span> -s<\/span> stable --rails<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n

That’s it.<\/p>\n

Happy hacking.<\/p>\n
