You can switch your version of ruby using rvm, assuming you installed that version with rvm, like this:

rvm use 1.8.6 --default

Or if you had ruby pre-installed and want to use that version than use this:

rvm use system --default

Of course, remove the --default if you don't want it to be the default.

Seeing that you didn't install 1.8.6 with rvm, I would reinstall it with rvm, so you are using rvm consistently across all your ruby versions.

Set it in a .ruby-version file in your project directory. Something like:

1.8.6-p383

You're not on the right forum, but the answer lies in the order of directories in your $PATH. Check your .profile and/or /etc/profile.
