The iMac I’m using now is a new one, but was set up using a Time Machine backup from my old iMac.
That computer I bought from a friend and instead of wiping it (had a lot of good programs on it) I used the standard tutorial to simply rename the user account.
I’ve never had any issues related to this up until now.
I just attempted to install RVM (Ruby Version Manager) and when I did, it attempted to install it into the old account name /Users/tai
and was a serious pain to undo.
Obviously somewhere, something is lingering in a file that references this old user account name.
Does anyone know where and how I would go about looking for this so I can resolve this to avoid any future problems?
You mention RVM is a pain to deal with on this setup. How did you attempt to install it? Via the standard RVM setup instructions which are ultimately per-user? Doing this

, correct? – JakeGould – 2015-11-26T03:14:17.317No it was a pain to undo the mess, not to install or use. – Vince Kronlein – 2015-11-26T03:17:59.133
