OSX 10.8.4 RVM install troubles with Network Users

Question

I'm trying to install ruby 1.9 as the system default for all users of our mac machines.

I've installed RVM using a "local" user account and everything seems to be working fine.

I'm able to run the rvm function test and install Ruby 1.9.3 as the system default.

type rvm | head -n 1
rvm is a function

$:~ admin$ ruby -v
ruby 1.9.3p448 (2013-06-27 revision 41675) [x86_64-darwin12.4.0]

When I log in from a Domain User account I get the following prompt at the command line.

 Last login: Tue Jul 30 14:29:02 on console
 -sh: __rvm_add_to_path: command not found
 $:~ nick$ 

There seems to be a permissions issues lurking somewhere but I'm not sure where to look.

Answer 1

The error you see:

 -sh: __rvm_add_to_path: command not found

suggests that you use sh shell - this is not supported shell, you need to switch the user to bash:

chsh -s /bin/bash $USER

I'm not sure if it needs any extra params for domain users or if you need to use different command for it - but you need to change the shell to bash.
