You've already been told: the '.' is wrong, whether it's './' or '. /' -- so
don't use it.

Entering /usr/local/bin/irb will use that exact version, and no, it won't
change the result of `which irb` -- irrelevant.

If you want to use your personal version all the time, change the PATH
defined in .bashrc (or wherever) to put /usr/local/bin *first*, or at least
before /opt/third-party/bin.
