Ruby: RVM Install Error "Could not source..."

A reinstall of RVM produced the following errors when done:

WARNING:
          Could not source '/Users/developer/.rvm/scripts/base' as file does not exist.
          RVM will likely not work as expected.

I reinstalled after I wrestled with trying to get RVM to work with Textmate and RVM behavior became strange (reporting it didn't have gemsets it would list) so I ran:

rvm implode

... and then manually removed the executable. Then I ran the install again by scrupulously following the single user instructions from the home site.

After I spotted the errors, I investigated the paths and found that many files in ~/.rvm/scripts/ and ~/.rvm/src/rvm/scripts/ which obviously should be executable did not have execute permissions.

RVM would not run at all so I set the executable bit on all the开发者_StackOverflow社区 files in the two directories and that seems to have fixed things. (So far at least.)

Googling, it seems that other people have hit this problem but there seems to be no explanation or resolution. I would like to find out if this is a known issue and whether I should reinstall yet again.

I'm running rvm 1.6.9 on MacOS X 10.6.7

Yep. If you have installed system-wide it is definitely looking for both the system-wide configuration... and some hard-coded user scripts. Which is weird.

quick fix: ln -nfs /usr/local/rvm /Users/developer/.rvm

---

it looks like all you need is to create that missing file.

in your terminal type:

touch /Users/developer/.rvm/scripts/version

touch /Users/developer/.rvm/scripts/base

---

they are warnings, not errors. I've got similar ones on my ubuntu linux box (but not on another, with same RVM version). so, it's not strctly related to OSX.

your RVM installation should work anyway.
