Hello everyone- I was just reading the article on Rails at O''Reilly and one of those little light bulbs over my head went off - what a GREAT tool. I tried to install both Ruby on my Mac PowerBook without much luck and then tried to install Ruby and Rails on a FreeBSD server I have. I am running into some odd errors - so, my question is - can you point me to some tech resources for either of these two OS''es and Ruby/Rails? Thank you! -Scott ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------ Scott St. John Technical Evangelist Complete web hosting and development www.talon.net scott-Mi3EwPw+07BeoWH0uzbU5w@public.gmane.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------

Won''t be much of an issue:) Most of the rails hackers use OSX and freebsd seems to be among the most popular production systems. Basecamp, Tadalist and 43things all run on freebsd and snowdevil on gentoo. Just visit us in IRC and I''m sure we will be able to help you.

One thing to be aware of is that Mac OS X Panther comes with Ruby 1.6.x, and you need Ruby 1.8.x to run the latest version of Rails. I compiled 1.8.x and installed it to /usr/local (which is the default). But you need to get rid of ruby and irb in /usr/bin or they will continue to be used by default when you type ''ruby''. In my case I renamed them to ruby16 and irb16, but it''s probably more correct to replace them with symlinks to /usr/local/bin/ruby and /usr/local/bin/irb. -Lee On Sun, 6 Feb 2005 08:41:35 -0500, Scott St. John wrote> Hello everyone- > > I was just reading the article on Rails at O''Reilly and one of those > little light bulbs over my head went off - what a GREAT tool. > > I tried to install both Ruby on my Mac PowerBook without much luck > and then tried to install Ruby and Rails on a FreeBSD server I > have.

You just need to set up your PATH such that ruby 1.8.x is found before OS X''s Ruby. There''s a page on the Wiki about doing this: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/SettingYourPath -Scott _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails
