Trouble on uninstalling RVM

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid and I was probably wrong to uninstall RVM and now it seams to be not completely removed from the system. Now I would like to install that again but I am in trouble.

What happens is that I have strange outputs generated when I try to execute some command lines:

# Note that following command lines don't output the version
# (between the word "version" and the word "is") as it should be.

$ rvm
$ rvm -v
> -bash: /usr/local/rvm/scripts/base: No such file or directory
> A RVM version  is installed yet 1.10.3 is loaded.
>  Please do one of the following:
>   * 'rvm reload'
>   * open a new shell


# Even if I use the 'cd' command I have problems...

$ cd ..
> -bash: /usr/local/rvm/scripts/initialize: No such file or directory
> -bash: /usr/local/rvm/scripts/hook: No such file or directory

That probably means that RVM is not correctly removed even if Ruby seams to be running as well:

$ which ruby
/usr/local/bin/ruby
$ ruby -v
ruby 1.9.2p290 (2011-07-09 revision 32553) [i686-linux]

So, what I can do to completely remove/uninstall RVM?

UPDATE

I solved part of the problem (or, maybe, all problems): that (those) was related to Phusion Passenger that was still loading the old path related to the Ruby version managed by RVM.

From rvm help:

implode  - (seppuku) removes the rvm installation completely.
           This means everything in $rvm_path (~/.rvm || /usr/local/rvm).
           This does not touch your profiles. However, this means that you
           must manually clean up your profiles and remove the lines which source RVM.

Judging from your $PATH you can also (alternatively) remove all of the following files and directories:

  • /usr/local/rvm
  • /etc/rvmrc
  • /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh

first try echo $rvm_path - if that shows anything - rm -rf it

second:

sudo rm -rf /ust/local/rvm /etc/rvmrc /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh ~/.rvm*

next check ls -l /usr/local/bin | grep rvm this will show links to rvm - rm -rf them

and last which rvm - if it shows anything try to check this path and remove at least this file.

RVM installs everything into ~/.rvm. To remove RVM from your system run 'rm -rf ~/.rvm'.

Refer this. and where is everything installed to?
