I installed ruby, postgres and rb-postgres like is mentioned here: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/ HowtoInstallOnOSXTigerUsingDarwinPorts The only thing is that I did not use the -b switch when installing rb- postgres because I always got an error with -b option. But I am getting the following error when I try to go to any page: No such file to load -- postgres It seems like the adapter is not working properly. How can I get it to work properly? I tried installing the adapter from gems but I would get the following error using that one: "invalid length of startup packet" or "end of file reached" Anyone ever come across this problem and find a solution to it? :-) I really appreciate your feedback! Your Friend, John Kopanas

After you installed Ruby and Rails, did you edit the shebang of the rails scripts to point to the darwinports version of ruby? "#!/usr/local/bin/ruby" => "#!/opt/local/bin/ruby" Did you add /opt/local/bin/ruby to the start of your path? Check to make sure the extension installed at all.

I thought I got it with your help but then I ran into another problem. I changed the shebang like you suggested but when I start up the webrick I get an active_support not found. One problem leads to another... any clue why I am getting this problem? I am also trying to install ruby from source using ./configure, make, make test, make install. When I put that version in the shebang and try to get webrick to startup I get a no such file to load -- socket problem. I think what is happening is that I am using a mixture of gem and ports and everything is pointing in the wrong direction. When I tried to install things the gem way I am getting an error of "end of file reached". hmmm... not cool. Any suggestions on which way I should take and how I can get it to work? I greatly appreciate this!

I would suggest wiping ot you current ruby and gem installs and then
install ruby, gems, rails, and then the postgres bindings again but
compile them all from source this time. You can use this installer
for OSX to install ruby with readline enabled, this one has worked
great for me. Here is the url:
http://homepage.mac.com/discord/Ruby/Ruby-1.8.2.dmg
Having parts of ruby in darwin ports and part of it elsewhere is
bound to cause problems and be nothing but a headache. If you install
ruby with the installer I linked to and then rename the stock osx
version of ruby to ruby.osx or something like that then you will
avoid these issues. Then move on to installing gems from source and
then all the gems you need. This way you will end up with a stable
ruby system where every part of ruby and rails knows where to look
for its other parts.
Good luck-
-Ezra

Wow... it finally worked. I owe you big time. Basically when I ran which everything was pointing to different places. Now everything is pointing to darwinports versions of stuff. Much better. So all I did in my profile was put /opt/local/bin before /usr/local/ bin and voila! Thank you very much one again!!!!
