why don't you use just rvm? rvm is awesome!

Also 1.9.1-p376 is old now. Use 1.9.2-head instead.

rvm doesn't work for me.

1.9.1-p376 is the stable version listed on http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/

I don't run edge software unless it's my own.

I've given up on rvm as well. I actually got program suffixes working for 1.9 (ruby19, rake19). It's much easier without rubygems ;)

I should probably publish my edge mutiruby on homebrew + rpg + rip setup somewhere.

Btw defunkt I liked simplicity in your Ruby setup. Currently finding rvm useful otherwise I would definitely like to have Ruby setup like you and it's really nice!

I'm curious to know why RVM wouldn't work for you.
