Answer 1

I have a follow-up question to this (wish I could simply add comment - but I don't have enough credits). I had this very same issue - and when I followed the rvm script that was suggested using --auto-dotfiles, I got into trouble as it somehow the shell script deleted my .bashrc_profile file.

Anyway, I eventually came around to the same answer listed above, putting this line at the bottom of .bashrc file. [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"

Did you happen to find why that works the way it does, and not with the line in the middle of .bashrc file? Do you have some clarity around the way Unix is loading the environment variable that makes RVM work in one instance and not in another?
