From my home directly I run

rbenv global system

I then immediately run the command

ruby -v

and get the result

ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30 revision 33570) [x86_64-darwin11.2.0]

I am on a 2010 MacBook Pro and I know that it came with ruuby 1.8.7 as my system ruby. So why doesn't the rbenv global system command switch me over to using the system ruby, which is 1.8.7? I'm a newbie, so please have patience.
