I am on a Mac, running Snow Leopard (if it matters). I am customizing my bash prompt to display things that get pulled from user specific places. For example, I am using Ruby Version Manager to manage different versions of Ruby. I am displaying the Ruby version I am using in the prompt. I am also using Homebrew, and have installed Git via Homebrew. I am displaying the Git branch in the prompt as well.
The problem is when I switch to root (sudo su, or sudo bash) it tries to use my user's prompt, which it won't be able to use because it won't be able to find RVM or Homebrew. So it displays errors. How can I fix this so that it doesn't display errors? (either by bringing RVM/Homebrew over as if I were still that user, or not displaying my custom prompt)
