Hi,

Does anyone know what could have caused bundler to try to install gems  
not into the ~/.rvm directory? I did not change anything compared to  
yesterday where I did the same thing. Yes, I updated bundler today and  
also rvm, but I reverted back to 0.9.14 and also reverted rvm to an  
earlier version, no change.

Anyone?

That was quick: solved by

rm -rf ~/.bundle/ ~/.gem/ .bundle/ Gemfile.lock

as described in the bundler README
