title: RVM Denied Permission Error across the board - OS X Mavericks - Ruby 2.0.0?
body: <p>I have reached a standstill after combing through tons of fixes. I'm new to Ruby/programming and had a perfectly fine, working (single user) install of Ruby/RVM earlier today, however something changed and I have probably done more damage than good trying to fix it. </p>
  
  <p>Essentially, when I try to run my basic .rb file, its gives me:</p>
  
  <pre><code> ruby: No such file or directory -- doom.rb (LoadError)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I attempted uninstalling RVM and reinstalling, I think that's where I screwed things up. I used <code>rvm implode</code> and I think it was an incomplete removal. Now when I try it, it simply says <code>command not found</code>. That same message shows up for most other fixes, <code>repair</code> and <code>get head</code>, what have you.</p>
  
  <p>If I try to reinstall over whatever is/isn't left, I get a screen full of Permission Denial Errors and already-existing objects:</p>
  
  <pre><code>rm: /Users/caroljones/.rvm/src/rvm/patchsets/ruby/1.9.3/p385: Permission denied
  .
  .
  .
  scripts/wrapper: Can't unlink already-existing object
  scripts/zsh/: Can't update time for scripts/zsh
  scripts/zsh/Completion/: Can't update time for scripts/zsh/Completion
  scripts/zsh/Completion/_rvm: Can't unlink already-existing object
  tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
  Could not extract RVM sources.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I run <code>echo $PATH</code>, I get this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Ruby is installed fine:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ruby 2.0.0p451 (2014-02-24 revision 45167) [universal.x86_64-darwin13]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I think it comes down to not doing a clean uninstall, but I cannot figure out how to pinpoint what garbage is left over from imploding. </p>
  
  <p>Let me know if I can give you any other info to clear up my question.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: If I run <code>which ruby</code> I get this output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/usr/bin/ruby
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And for <code>$ ls -al ~ | grep rvm</code> I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>drwxr-xr-x    5 caroljones  staff    170 May  5 17:35 .rvm
  </code></pre>
