Is it possible, to run both versions side by side on the same ubuntu
10.04, or do I have to expect difficulties?

No problem provided you use rvm

Maybe ‘rvm’ is not a critical requirement for this (?)
I think the requirement is to have:
- either the different versions of the gems installed
- or to vendor the rails versions
Without using rvm (just the 1.8.7 system ruby of Ubuntu 10.04),
I was trivially able to run 3.0.3 and 2.3.2 (Uh) in parallel …
peterv@ASUS:~/ra/apps/trials$ rails 2.3.2 rails_2_3_x
create
create app/controllers
…
peterv@ASUS:~/ra/apps/trials$ rails new rails_3_0_x
create
create README
…
peterv@ASUS:~/ra/apps/trials$ ls -l | egrep ‘rails_’
drwxr-xr-x 13 peterv peterv 4096 2010-12-22 22:42 rails_2_3_x

Or did I overlook something ?

RVM is the best way to do it.
I think the requirement is to have:
- either the different versions of the gems installed
- or to vendor the rails versions
Right. And RVM is the easiest way of managing that (thanks to its
gemset features). If you’re using different Ruby interpreters, RVM is
essential.
Thanks for that hint. It lead me to this page:
http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/gemsets/basics/
Now that we have bundler (with it’s Gemfile) and rvm,
what would be the best way to run e.g. a Rails 2.3.8
and a 3.0.3 on the same Ruby 1.8.7 version in rvm ?
Would it be useful to use rvm gemsets, or just rely
on bundler to select the correct gem versions from
a single default rvm gemset?
Thanks,
Peter

Of course. That way each project is completely independent.

Why make extra work for yourself?

You overlooked the fact that without gemsets and interpreter management,
this gets messy fast.

No. I am fairly new to rvm. Figured out
$ rvm gemset help
as a useful command for exploration

OK, that’s good. I’ll try it out.
Thanks again,
