I have installed or I think is is so a new version of ruby on my osx ppc running leopard 10.5.8 but when I run ruby --version it shows the old one 1.8.7 (default on the machine) but when I run...

find /usr -type f -name \*.rb

it shows ruby2.0.o is on:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/2.0.0/

with all its .rb files.

But when I check using locate ruby

it shows the version 1.8.7 under

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby

Anytime I check on ruby --version it shows the 1.8.7...how can I change that?

Totally newbie...thanks.

BTW rvm is not installing by anychance or homebrew and My xcode doesn't have downloads.

Most of the systems today search for programs to run using PATH environment variable. If you did install ruby in /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.0.0/ then you should modify your PATH accordingly:

export PATH="/usr/local/lib/ruby/2.0.0/bin:$PATH"

as for problems with any software you should report the problems you are facing:
