Thanks for the response. This helped a lot :)
My $PATH was looking like: /usr/local/git/bin/:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/opt/local/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/Users/robert/.rvm/bin:/usr/local/git/bin/:/usr/local/git/bin/ I'checked some files like : .bash_profile/.profile/.bashrc there were some export $PATH declarations. /usr/bin/git --version => git version 1.7.5.4 /usr/local/git/bin/git --version => git version 1.7.10.1 First I removed the export PATH declarations. They were messing things up. It is kind of strange that the uninstaller of v1.7.5.4 is locating git at /usr/local/git and it is installed here at /usr/bin/git. I always used the official installer. Then I read somewhere else that xcode also installs git (think this should be the /usr/bin/git). So I'm not planning to remove this one. So first I removed all my export PATH declarations from .bash_profile/.profile/.bashrc. This makes my path looks like: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/opt/local/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/Users/robert/.rvm/bin Somewhat shorter. When I did 'which git' it gave me /usr/bin/git. This isn't the version I want. So I went back and changed my PATH to /usr/local/git/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/opt/local/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/Users/robert/.rvm/bin by adding this line: export PATH=/usr/local/git/bin:$PATH to .bash_profile First open a new terminal window to test "git --version" or "which git" or if you want to test those commandos in the same terminal type in first "source .bash_profile" to enable your changed in the .bash_profile file /usr/local/git/bin (the 1.7.10.1 version) will be found first ('which git' resulted in /usr/local/git/bin/git) Op woensdag 9 mei 2012 11:54:59 UTC+2 schreef Robert Cabri het volgende: > > Tried to update from version 1.7.5.4 to 1.7.9.4 and to 1.7.10.1.
