What does your PATH look like?

For BASH you'd type this into a terminal:

rvm use 1.8.7
echo $PATH 

You seem to be using zsh which I'm not familiar with but I'd imagine it's something similar

And post the results. I'm guessing that your PATH doesn't include correct .rvm directory. 


My path current PATH looks like this:
tim@athena ~$ rvm use 1.9.2
tim@athena ~$ echo $PATH
/Users/tim/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin:/Users/tim/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180@global/bin:/Users/tim/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin:/Users/tim/.rvm/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin
