Best practice for installing multiple versions of Ruby, apart from rvm? -
I am running both Ruby 1.8.7 and Ruby 1.9 for a few weeks. I install Ruby 1.9 with Prefix 19, so that the commands include "Ruby 19", "IRB 19", "Rake 1 9", "GM 19" etc. There is no suffix of 1.8.7 counterparts and thus default.
I think the easiest and most transparent way to manage two versions of Ruby is. I can just replace #! My Ruby scripts line one version or the other to use.
I have read about the solution of the hanging, which is a full-blown solution like changing the simplex or RVM on the fly but I like the simple and transparent approach. I am just surprised that there are serious drawbacks with it.
RVM rocks! give it a chance. "Full Developed Solution" does not mean it's really complicated to switch to Ruby versions.
