Subject: Which version do I have then?

Hello there!

After reading the first half of Chris Pine's online tutorial I decided
to buy the book and here I am, preparing my MacBook Pro for my serious
studying which I plan to begin in a few hours.

However, since I am want everything to be up to date, I decided to
update to Ruby 1.9.0 (I previously had 1.8.1). Following this
(http://hivelogic.com/articles/ruby-rails-mongrel-mysql-osx/) I think I
managed to do something, because when I type "ruby -v" on my terminal
I...sometimes take this as the result: ruby 1.9.0 (2007-12-25 revision
14709) [i686-darwin8.11.1]

The "sometimes" goes for the fact that the above only happens when my
folder is "/usr/local/src/ruby-1.9.0". When I am at "/usr/local/src/" or
below, I get this: ruby 1.8.1 (2003-12-25) [i686-darwin]. Which is quite
confusing to me, since it looks like I have both version.

Anyways, I have never had any previous experience with language building
or something relevant so I would really appreciate it if you can tell me
either how to update Ruby or that it doesn't really matter if I have a
previous version. :P

Thanks in advance!
