Been having some trouble with brew and getting all things to work. I had a working environment with macports. But when updating to Rails 3 I decided to try homebrew. Will brew Imagemagick install all dependencies? E g I think I miss Freetype and I can''t find that as brew. Btw, what''s your experience with brew vs macports? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I am most definitely NOT a fan of macports. The tradeoff is that Homebrew is still fairly new and doesn''t yet support everything that is available in macports. However, there seems to be a fairly active community around Homebrew that is filling in the gaps.

Had a thought of going back to ports but decided to stay with brew and if I miss something I''ll install it myself. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Compare and contrast with ports, which will often be quite a few versions old, and in some cases that may mean the difference between a feature "just working" and failing catastrophically.

Just be sure to read the formula and check the source of the package to make sure something isn''t playing nasty tricks on you. So be safe if you decide to use another fork by reading the code yourself, as is good practice with anything you''re installing from open source. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
