I\'m running Ruby 1.9.1p243 on CentOS, and I decided to install rvm to handle upgrading to 1.9.2 or downgrading to 1.8.7 (whichever turns out to work better for rails3).
Your install is as root account. Try this in shell [[ -s "/usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "/usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm"
before rvm switch operation. I add this line in my profile file and now all is ok.
