Can't upgrade and use normally: "egrep: conflicting matchers specified"

[Lucas Húngaro]

I can't use any rvm version newer than 0.7 because I can't set a
default ruby. The only symptom I can see is the following warning
(displayed after any operation with rvm):

$ rvm 1.9.2
egrep: conflicting matchers specified
egrep: conflicting matchers specified

$ rvm --default 1.9.1
egrep: conflicting matchers specified
egrep: conflicting matchers specified

I've already tried an "implode" and reinstalled everything. Twice.

Any clues?

I had this same problem. I'm pretty sure my issue was caused by an
alias of grep to egrep in my .zshrc. Perhaps the same thing is causing
your problem.

Wow! I really want to thank you, this was driving me nuts!

The offending alias (was on my .bash_profile):

alias grep='egrep --color'

Thank you again! :)

rvm update --head

This should also be adressed now such that RVM will skip the aliases
if they exist.

Nice! Just updated and now I'm able to use the alias again. Thank you!
