Switching from rvm to rbenv

I followed Jason Seifer's video on installing a Ruby development environment on a Mac. Previously, I had been using rvm so I had to uninstall it first. Now, each time I start up my terminal, I get the following message:

-bash: __rvm_add_to_path: command not found

I believe I have some left over rvm information in my bash profile, but I'm not sure how to go about fixing it. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help!

Kyle Daugherty try checking for /etc/rvmrc or ~/.rvmrc and remove any rvm references there as well.

Thanks Jason Seifer! This led me down the right path. In case anyone else has this problem, I had to edit my /etc/profile by removing the line with source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh

Hey Kyle Daugherty try checking your .bash_profile or .bashrc file in your home directory and see if there are any rvm references in there. If there are, try taking them out or commenting them out.

Thanks for the quick response Jason Seifer. I looked at each file and didn't see any rvm references. My .bashrc file was empty and my .bash_profile has the following:

```export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH" eval "$(rbenv init -)"

export PATH="/usr/local/heroku/bin:$PATH" ```
