I dont have the latesr RoR updates, so I have (i think) rails 1.8.7. All i needed to know is whether or not upgrading my current OS will change/affect the current set up.

I think you mean Ruby 1.8.7, not Rails.

Whether that matters depends heavily on your current setup. My recommendation is to take control of your Ruby, RubyGems and Rails environments and stop relying so heavily on your OS configuration. The community has created several excellent tools to help you accomplish this: http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/ http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/ http://gembundler.com/ With these three tools you can take control and manage your Ruby and Rails environments, as well as their dependencies including gems and supporting libraries (e.g. ImageMagick, MongoDB, etc). Homebrew is a great way to manage the latter. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Upgrading to Snow Leopard involves some changes due to the 64-bit architecture. These potentially come into play regardless of where the OP''s Ruby introverts and gems live. Personally, I think that the tools included with Mac OS already do a great job managing my Ruby interpreter and gems, and I see no reason to duplicate what they do I do use RVM, but for a different purpose altogether (managing multiple versions of Ruby and multiple gemsets).> > The community has created several excellent tools to help you accomplish > this: > > http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/ > http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/ > http://gembundler.com/ > > With these three tools you can take control and manage your Ruby and > Rails environments, as well as their dependencies including gems and > supporting libraries (e.g. ImageMagick, MongoDB, etc).

Point releases to the OS might also update ruby, presumably to fix bugs but may also introduce bugs. I think robert''s point was just that something like rvm puts you in the driver seat rather than whoever controls your OS''s packaging (in addition to being able to work with multiple versions easily) Fred> -- > Posted viahttp://www.ruby-forum.com/.-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
