I'm not a Mac person, but after installing Ruby 1.8.2, how does one
"upgrade" to Ruby 1.8.1? :)
Anyway, it appears that there is a path issue, as Ruby 1.6 (or parts of
it) is on the machine and is getting in the way. (I'm assuming, of
course, that "[h]ave downloaded Ruby 1.8.2" also means "... and
installed it.")
Can one just delete the 1.6 sub-tree? It also seems that rubygems
installed itself in the 1.6 tree. Odd. (Think different?)
Does 1.6 have to be uninstalled before installing 1.8, on OS X?
