Peter, After reading about the project-specific .rvmrc file I definitely see the benefit of that approach. The one thing I haven't figured out, though, is how to make rvm aware of all the gems that are currently on my system. I really don't want to install all of them again.
I tried the last example at http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/workflow/examples/ about installing gems from the system directory but it's not working and I suspect it's because of the changes I made in trying to get 1.8.7 running. When I run the "rvm system" command and then "rvm info": system: system: uname: "Darwin Chris-Macbook.local 9.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.8.0: Wed Jul 15 16:55:01 PDT 2009; root:xnu-1228.15.4~1/ RELEASE_I386 i386" shell: "bash" version: "3.2.17(1)-release" And this isn't what I expected at all, so something is amiss. I'll keep digging. Chris > The killer feature in RVM is gemsets.
