So what is the recommended Rails install method on OSX? http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoInstallOnOSXTiger seems surprisingly convoluted (and maybe even out of date?), given that it usually seems like most Rails developers are on Macs. (Disclaimer: I myself develop on Ubuntu, where the install was trivial, but I need to assist another developer in setting up a dev environment on OSX.) The Apple page [1] pointed to by the rails wiki suggests Locomotive [2], which doesn''t exist anymore at that web site. Or perhaps [3], which is pointed to by the Apple page as well? But that page is from 2005, and has you compiling almost everything from source... How about the Bitnami ruby stack [4] ? The instructions /seem/ straightforward... but... Help? Thanks... dwh [1] http://developer.apple.com/tools/rubyonrails.html [2] http://locomotive.raaum.org/ [3] http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger [4] http://bitnami.org/stack/rubystack --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

On Mac OS X Leopard, you start with Ruby 1.8.6 and Rails 1.2.3 (and rubygems 0.9.4) [1,2] (You could install the OS X 10.5.4 update, too) From there, it should be as easy as (from the top of my head): sudo gem update --system # to get many improvements to rubygems sudo gem install rails and start coding! -Rob Rob Biedenharn http://agileconsultingllc.com Rob-xa9cJyRlE0mWcWVYNo9pwxS2lgjeYSpx@public.gmane.org [1] http://www.apple.com/opensource/ [2] http://www.apple.com/macosx/techspecs/ (under What''s in the Box? / Development) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Denis, Hivelogic was the right location, but you had the wrong articles. Rails stack installation on Mac OSX Leopard : http://hivelogic.com/articles/2008/02/ruby-rails-leopard RMagick installation : http://hivelogic.com/articles/2006/06/rmagick_os_x Alain --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
