+Rubygems makes it possible to install several versions of Buildr side-by-side
on the same system. If you want to run a specific version, you can do so by
adding the version number between underscores ('_') as the first command-line
parameter. For example,
+
+{% highlight sh %}
+$ buildr _1.3.4_ clean # runs Buildr v1.3.4
+
+$ buildr _1.4.4_ clean # runs Buildr v1.4.4
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+p(note). There are two `buildr` executables installed by Rubygems. One script
serves to select the specified (or default) version of Buildr and is typically
found under `/usr/bin/buildr` or `/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/buildr`. The exact
location will vary depending on your system. The other script is the Buildr
bootstrap per se and can be found under the specific version of Buildr, e.g,
`/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/buildr-1.4.0/bin/buildr`. The first script should be
on your `PATH`. The second script should not be called directly and should
not be on your `PATH`.
