after giving up on system-wide rvm, trying to get back to user rvm, but rvm still seems to wants to intall everything in /usr/local ...

why?

Notes for Linux ( DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.04 LTS" )

    *  NOTE: MRI stands for Matz's Ruby Interpreter (1.8.X, 1.9.X), ree stands for Ruby Enterprise Edition and rbx stands for Rubinius.


    *  curl is required.

    *  patch is required (for ree, some ruby head's).

    *  If you wish to install rbx and/or any MRI head (eg. 1.9.2-head) then you must install and use rvm 1.8.7 first.

    *  For JRuby (if you wish to use it) you will need:
       $ aptitude install curl sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk
    *  For MRI & ree (if you wish to use it) you will need (depending on what you are installing):
       $ aptitude install build-essential bison openssl libreadline5 libreadline-dev curl git-core zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev vim libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libreadline5-dev libreadline6-dev libxml2-dev git-core subversion autoconf
    *  For IronRuby (if you wish to use it) you will need:
       $ aptitude install curl mono-2.0-devel


chris,

Thank you for using rvm. I hope that it makes your work easier and more enjoyable.
If you have any questions, issues and/or ideas for improvement please hop in #rvm on irc.freenode.net and let me know.
My irc nickname is 'wayneeseguin' and I hang out from ~09:00-17:00EST and again from ~21:00EST-~00:00EST.
If I do not respond right away, please hang around after asking your question, I will respond as soon as I am back.
Be sure to get head often as rvm development happens fast, you can do this by typing 'rvm update --head'.
  w⦿‿⦿t!
    ~ Wayne


WARNING:  you have a 'return' statement in your .bashrc, likely this will cause untold havoc.
   This means that if you see '[ -z $PS1 ] && return' then you must change this line to:
   if [[ -n $PS1 ]] ; then
     ... original content that was below the && return line ...
   fi # <= be sure to close the if.
   #EOF .bashrc
Even if you use zsh you should still adjust the .bashrc as above.
If you have any questions about this please visit #rvm on irc.freenode.net.

Installation of RVM to /usr/local/rvm/ is complete.
