Hi, I just compiled and packaged Universal Binaries of Ruby 1.8.5 It''s available at: ftp://ftp.math.ohio-state.edu/osx/pkgs/unix/Ruby-1.8.5-1-ub.mpkg.dmg This distribution mpkg contains: GNU Readline 5.1 (Universal Binary) Ruby 1.8.5 (Universal Binary) Ruby Gems 0.9.0 (Universal Binary) Each component was compiled with --prefix=/usr/local, the packages installs into /usr/local If you''d like to install the components discretely: ftp://ftp.math.ohio-state.edu/osx/pkgs/unix/readline-5.1.0-2-ub.pkg.dmg ftp://ftp.math.ohio-state.edu/osx/pkgs/unix/ruby-1.8.5-1-ub.pkg.dmg ftp://ftp.math.ohio-state.edu/osx/pkgs/unix/rubygems-0.9.0-1-ub.pkg.dmg The packages do not update your PATH variable, so you''ll need to manually add /usr/local/bin to your PATH. export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH" Make PATH changes permanent by editing ~/.bashrc or /etc/bashrc to include the above line and restart your shells. WARNING: I''m not sure if these packages will conflict or break when installed over top of the existing RubyUniversal 1.8.4 package from http://www.infurious.com/downloads/ which you may have already installed. Please provide feedback. I haven''t done much testing on these packages, but I''ve ensured this doesn''t wipe the hard disk or anything stupid like that. Permissions should be sane, and nothing should be installed world-writable. I''m deploying Ruby 1.8.5 to run the Puppet site configuration tool from http://www.reductivelabs.com/ Best Regards, -- Jeff McCune The Ohio State University Department of Mathematics Systems Manager _______________________________________________ Puppet-users mailing list Puppet-users@madstop.com https://mail.madstop.com/mailman/listinfo/puppet-users
