Too Many Gems... about guides HOT 4 CLOSED

Weird error...
Could you please run which gem and then echo $PATH and show us the output of both commands?

from guides.

The issue is RVM's use of .rvmrc. I'm not at that computer today to give
the exact solution, but there is a reference in that file to /usr/local/bin
which leads to the problem. When I get to that computer, I'll update my
reply to include the fix.

Could you detail how it’s RVM’s fault?

There are two ways to generate an RVM rvmrc file. rvm rvmrc create and echo “rvm use –install –create 1.9.3-p392 (or similar construct). RVM doesn’t hardwire paths. It uses vars like $rvm_path and builds on them in order to create the rvmrc file.

If you have a hardwired path in there, then a human added that.

Sorry, I misspoke. It was .gemrc that is the culprit:

   ---
   :sources:
   - http://rubygems.org/
   - http://gems.github.com
   gem: -n/usr/local/bin
   :backtrace: false
   :benchmark: false
   :verbose: true
   :update_sources: true
   :bulk_threshold: 1000
