RVM is not working over SSH

Question

RVM is not working over SSH.

At the command-line:

leifg@host:~$ which ruby
/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/bin/ruby

Actually, your ~/.bashrc will be executed. The problem is usually that one adds the

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*

... snippet at the bottom of the file. However, the default .bashrc on ubuntu systems includes the following near the top

# If not running interactively, don't do anything
[ -z "$PS1" ] && return

That call will stop executing the rest of the script and will therefore not set the proper paths. So you can either put the rvm call at the top of the file or remove the return call.
