Remove Ruby compiled from source

[Whettingstone]

I installed Ruby a while ago and compiled it from source. I decided to run 1.9.3.

Now I decided to run 2.1 instead and found a script to compile that from source (this: https://gist.github.com/blacktm/8302741) but I'm unsure if I need to remove 1.9.3 first.

How do I do this? Do I need to do it or will 1.9.3 get replaced?

the script you linked to has this

Code: Select all

# Set Ruby 2.1 as the global default
rbenv global 2.1.1

it looks like this will try to set the updated ruby as default , allthough its not obvious how exactly that happens ( you could try and look at the source of the 'rbenv' to find out ...)

you could just try it and see

*i dont realy use ruby mutch or build the source at all

The script that you linked to will install rbenv, a method to manage multiple versions on Ruby . There is no need to remove the existing version of Ruby prior to installing first.
