Summary:
after ruby install, Terminal.app doesn't load preferences in ~/.profile

Detailed description 
After installing Ruby One-Click 1.8.6, Terminal.app shows the default prompt. This is wierd since I customize my settings
using ~/.profile. How did the installation manage to screw with bash and/or my PATH settings?

I had the same error too, somehow a PATH instruction got inserted
into my .bash_profile after using the installer :(

After sudo cp'ing my personal .profile to
/private/etc/bashrc, terminal seems to have picked up my
preferences again. Is that what the installer modifies?
