Were you using rbenv or rvm with Ruby?
- tuco86 10y agono, don't remember why that wasn't an option - maybe i was not even aware of it. I am not really experienced in the ruby toolset, just trying to use tools written in ruby.
- Groxx 10y agoYeah, sadly Ruby has the same environment issues as Python. Python has virtualenv, Ruby has rbenv - they're essentially required, sometimes even for global binaries. For Python, there's `pipsi` for automatically creating unique virtualenvs for binaries - that's the right approach, and it's worth adopting ASAP for future sanity. It even lets you mix python 2 and 3 binaries without any issues. I don't know what the equivalent would be for Ruby.
