"Warning: You have '~/.profile' file" when installing RVM

Question

In following http://installrails.com/steps/install_rvm_and_ruby

This is the output I get:

Yesterday I had went through the InstallRails guide, and everything worked perfectly. I had RVM installed, Rails installed, Ruby installed etc. Then I had to change the Ruby version because one of my sites was using an older version of Ruby (not sure how I did this though).

Now, somehow it seems that RVM and Rails aren't installed. What do I do?

Edit:

I moved the contents of .profile to .bash_profile, changed the name of .profile to .pprofile, and ran \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable again. It gave me the error: RVM sourcing line not found for Bash, rerun this command with '--auto-dotfiles' flag to fix it.. I did that, and the it gave me the error WARNING: You have '~/.profile' file, you might want to load it again. It seems that --auto-dotfiles creates a .profile file.

Answer 1

may this can help you, bc it seems to be exactly the same problem:

This warning says you have a file ~/.profile - this file is loaded as a last resort in Bash when there is no ~/.bash_profile - and the installer found both files, this means that you might be expecting some configuration from ~/.profile to be available on shell start but it would not be because it was not read. To fix the problem you can either

1. remove ~/.profile (in case you do not use it),
2. move content of ~/.profile to ~/.bash_profile, or
3. add the folowing line to ~/.bash_profile (you need to edit the file): source ~/.profile

Answer 2

For me this works:

replace:

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*

with:

source "$HOME/.profile" # Also loads RVM into a shell session *as a function*
