2Have you installed Ruby before, without RVM (using apt get for instance)? Have you tried `rvm use 1.9.2 --default` ? – toniedzwiedz Jul 09 '12 at 20:22

What shell are you using? How did you install RVM? Where are you sourcing RVM? Meaning, to which file did you add ```[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"``` ? – Remear Jul 10 '12 at 14:01

1.8.7 was installed without RVM. rvm use 1.9.2 --default worked. Thanks! I guess I'm just using the default shell through SSH connection. – unmuse Jul 10 '12 at 15:26

Below are the steps for a fresh installation if you need it at any time:
bash -sk stable < <(curl -sk https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer)
echo '[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM function' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile
source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh
rvm requirements #Lets you know the system dependencies and if you need to install any other libraries
rvm install 1.9.2-p290
rvm use 1.9.2 --default
rvm gemset create demo
rvm demo@1.9.2
then install rails
gem install rails -v=3.0.4
If at any time u mess up your rvm you can remove it using rvm implode or rm -rf ~/.rvm
