Changing my Ruby path to use a fresh install

rubyonrails-talk

Have installed Ruby using Darwin Ports and want to change my path to use it. Where do I change this, and what do I type? I'm not a Unix genius, but it's located: /opt/local/bin/

if I run the command $which ruby

I get returned /usr/bin/ruby which is the standard install, and I'm having issues with it and readline. So I want to change it to the new version???

Help....

Thanks. Cammo

You have to move /opt/local/bin before /usr/bin in your PATH environment variable. For bash, do something like export PATH=“/opt/local/bin:/usr/bin…” and for tcsh it should be setenv.

Or you can make a symlink like this: ln -s /opt/local/bin/ruby /usr/bin/ruby
