Install macports. Then:
sudo port install ruby19

Should do it.

Great. You'll find macports pretty handy for installing many things.

Cool. One thing I'm noticing is when I type /usr/bin/ruby -v it is
giving me version 1.8, when I'm compiling my code how do I know which
version of ruby I'm using? 1.9 is installed in my /opt/local/lib
directory.
Should I uninstall 1.8?

Thanks

Take a look at this article:

http://www.metaskills.net/2009/1/20/multiruby-the-macports-way-testing-your-rails-apps-wit...

Although it is a little hackish I'm not sure of any easier method.

at the prompt, type which ruby <return> and that will give you the
path to the executable

also, you might want to check your PATH env variable to make sure it's
finding the right one first, although I think OSX has a mechanism for
switching that's kind of a half baked version of the Linux
alternatives mechanism for switching between various versions of
"stuff". Although, in fairness this seems to work quite well for java
on the mac. Anyway, check your path with either echo $PATH of env
commands and see what it says. You may have to force it by modifying
the path in .bash_profile in your home directory (assuming bash) or
some other file that's modifying your path variable. Hope that helps.

I always install alternative versions of any software into different
directories, e.g.
/usr/local/ruby-1.8.6
/usr/local/ruby-1.8.7
/usr/local/ruby-1.9.1

set the default path in your .bashrc.local or equiv, and then use a
file like, say "r187"
------------
export RUBY_HOME=/usr/local/ruby-1.8.7
export PATH=$RUBY_HOME/bin:$PATH
------------
for each version. Then in any window you can type
prompt> . r187

and set the version for that particular shell.

FWIW,

Sorry but I cannot find the file to modify my path env variable.

I do live here. But I grew up in Former Brittish colonies and commonwealths (Rhodesia and South Africa), and some old habits simply refuse to die. And though I have lived here permanently since 1952, it appears that even as a young dog this old dog found it difficult to learn some new tricks. It is one of my many failings. Please overlook this one.

You are quite welcome. Respect is earned. I respect you.
