bash error while installing jruby

[arikan]

rvm 1.16.17
GNU bash, version 3.2.48(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin11)
mac osx

rvm cannot run bash somehow, while installing gemsets. Seems like the path is getting reset or something. I get same error with rvm stable version. Any idea how to resolve it?

Others get the same error on Ubuntu.

Can you gist the contents of your shell init files?

[richo]

Also, can you try the same thing with --trace?

[arikan]

here is my bash_profile
https://gist.github.com/4012767

[richo]

Nothing looks amiss in there.

You do have an enormous PATH by the time this runs. Assuming that --trace turns up nothing interesting, I'd be curious to see what happens with less. It's possible that at some point PATH gets truncated.

(As an aside, setting TERM in your dotfiles is rarely a good idea, as an fyi)

[arikan]

also here is the result of:
rvm install jruby --trace
https://gist.github.com/4012780

[richo]

Ok, you can workaround the issue for now with

sudo ln -s /bin/bash /usr/bin/bash

I'll get a patch together in a sec.

[richo]

Did you install rvm somewhere vaguely bizarre?

__rvm_which rvm is returning /bin/rvm in your trace, can you confirm if that's brokeness deep inside rvm or rvm installed to /bin?

[arikan]

which rvm
/Users/arikan/.rvm/bin/rvm

isn't it the right place?

[richo]

Do you get the same result from

__rvm_which rvm ?

[arikan]

yes

__rvm_which rvm
/Users/arikan/.rvm/bin/rvm

[richo]

Ok, I think I have it worked out.

What's the output of ls -l /bin/rvm ?

At some point something appears to have installed something executable there, which normally does nothing, but once all the other RVM paths are removed, suddenly it matches and breaks everything.

[arikan]

hmm this is the output

ls -l /bin/rvm
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root  wheel  1039 Jan 11  2012 /bin/rvm

[richo]

Hah. I don't suppose you remember what you were doing on Jan 11 this year?

If you remove that file, all will come good.

Before you do though, can you check there's nothing senstiive in it and gist it? I'm hoping to match it up to a revision of RVM and work out how it got there, since it's obviously not a standalone case.

[arikan]

hmm ok, I see these

cd /bin/rvm
rvm            rvm-auto-ruby  rvm-exec       rvm-installer  rvm-prompt     rvm-shell      rvmsudo

[richo]

Yeah, you'll want to nuke them all.

It looks like somehow you wound up with rvm essentially installed in /

Not sure if this was a glitch in the system wide installer around that time this year, but no good can come of it

[arikan]

thanks a lot richo, now it all works :) i was stucked all day.

[tjwebb]

I also hit this issue, but ls -l /bin/rvm returns nothing. rvm has screwed up my entire PATH...

The command could not be located because '/usr/bin' is not included in the PATH environment variable.

[mpapis]

@tjwebb what version of rvm? have you tried after rvm get head?

[tjwebb]

tjwebb@abshnasko:~/workspace/tools/cartodb$ rvm -v
rvm 1.17.0 (stable) by Wayne E. Seguin wayneeseguin@gmail.com, Michal
Papis mpapis@gmail.com [https://rvm.io/]

I'll run 'rvm get head' and see if that helps
