Choose ruby version for a Rails

Well I am having a really weird problem, I am working on a project of another team and they were using ruby 1.8.7. I has installed ruby 1.8.6 so I've got many ruby errors and I couldn't figures out why.

Finally I found that the reason was the version of the ruby, I have installed RVM and I set 1.8.7 version as default and I ran the app but I am still getting those errors.

Can I explicitly setup the ruby version which I want my rails app to use? My final solution is to delete ruby 1.8.6 version...

Just for the record, one of the errors I got was that: select_tag "hour", options_for_select(24.times.collect {|i| i}

and here I found the answer:

I have many more errors which I assume that it might be the ruby version because the app is live and running smoothly.

Thank you

Well the problem was that I ran the command as a root (sudo script/ server) so the ruby 1.8.6 was used. When I am running for the version 1.8.7 I am getting the following errors:

Any ideas what it might been wrong?

Install your missing ruby openssl libraries.

Thank you for your answer but can you be a little more specific? I have ubuntu and I have already installed openssl libraries but it doesn't work. I found some guides which says to go at \gems\ruby-1.8.7- p249\ext\openssl but I didn't have the folder /ext/openssl/ .

install ree, and remove all your problems
