You mean the directory from which it was built, src as suggested? Sorry 
for my lack of knowledge. I know my way around a bit with the terminal 
but I''ve never compiled (is that the name?) an app myself.

I got a Applescript making them visible :-) Either that or via the 
terminal. But that script is good to have.

I don''t got an opt directory? Hmm. Are both rubygems and fastcgi 
installed with their names, so I can make a find?

Got that. :-)

Ok. Good to know. I might give Lighttpd another chance.

That''s where mine lives, and it works fine.

No. You should see its source directory in the terminal application 
wherever you built it. Mine''s in /usr/local/src. But you won''t
see the
/usr directory in the Finder, because it''s Magically Rendered 
Invisible:-)

Are they installed in /opt? If so, you can see that in the Finder. Look 
in /opt/local/lib/ruby and the various directories thereof.

PCRE, on my machine, is in /usr/local/lib: ls /usr/local/lib/libpcre*

Yes, re-installing will replace the files that are being re-installed.

I followed hivelogic article on how to install Ror and Lighttpd on Mac 
OS.

http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger

But I''m not sure I got Lighttpd in the right place.

If I do "which lighttpd" and "lighttpd -v" I get answers
from the
terminal:

/usr/local/sbin/lighttpd

lighttpd-1.4.11 - a light and fast webserver

But I can''t find a Lighttpd folder. Should there be one?

How can I check so I got RubyGems, PCRE and FastCGI correctly installed?

If I want to try installing again, can I just do that? Will it overwrite 
the files I already got installed? Or how do I uninstall?

Yes. Unless you deleted it after the build.

A find for -name ''rubygems.rb'' should get rubygems; -name
''fcgi.rb''
should find fastcgi.
