Thank you for the help -

Per my original post, my path already includes the path:

Alpha:~ srummel$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/mysql/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin
Alpha:~ srummel$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [powerpc-darwin8.0]
Alpha:~ srummel$ /usr/local/bin/ruby -v
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [powerpc-darwin8.7.0]
Alpha:~ srummel$

Is there some other issue involved?
