...This worked great, thanks for the nice write-up.<br /><br />For anybody else searching for the same thing, some keywords... Upgrading Bash let me install RVM on an old PowerBook G4 I'm resuscitating. RVM's installer doesn't work on Leopard otherwise—it wants at least Bash 3.2.25, but Leopard (10.5.8) ships with Bash 3.2.17.<br /><br />p.s. Bash 4.2 is out now, so I used that instead.
