Upgrade to ruby 1.9.3 from 1.8.7 (rvm)

Question

I have to upgrade from ruby 1.8.7 to ruby 1.9.3; I'm trying to install refinery cms and it uses truncate_html gem, which depends on ruby (>= 1.9). I've installed ruby 1.9.3-p374 without removing ruby 1.8.7.

I've used the command rvm --default use 1.9.3 and it issued the result

Using /usr/share/ruby-rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p374

but when i type ruby -v it was again 1.8.7.

How can I upgrade to ruby 1.9.3?

Are you using a .rvmrc file for your project? If so, it might be selecting a specific Ruby over your default.

Open ./.rvmrc if it exists and remove (as necessary) any rvm use... references.
