But all the sites appear to only have 4.1.19 or 4.1.20. So it looks like DarwinPorts is over a month out

Hello Community: I''m a brand new user of Ruby on Rails, and am having a great deal of trouble compiling from source. I''m using the tutorial at http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger to complete the install. Readline and Ruby installed just fine, and the Ruby Gems appeared to. But when I tried to sudo gem install Rails --include-dependencies,

Hi! I''m pretty amazed by the features of RoR so far. But, as I come from the desktop application development, my clients expect to run the magic on their domain rather on a foreign one. Also I feel uncomfortable giving away my RoR code to some hosting company, because I''m planning to do a large application. As I understand, RoR is designed to run on central web-servers and not

I got a new 20 inch iMac dual core today and am busy getting it all setup. A couple of issues though: 1. Is the Ruby 1.8.2 install by Apple still botched or has that been fixed?

I tried the instruction tutorial on http://maczealots.com/tutorials/ruby-on-rails/ and in the middle of trying to install fixrbconfig I got an error: usr/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.0/ruby.h does not exist. This probably means you haven''t yet installed Xcode from the Tiger DVD. You won''t be able to compile Ruby extensions without it. Please install it then rerun this

I''m on Mac OSX and I''m about to rip my hair out over how hard it is to install rails. I''ve installed rubygems and am typing "ruby setup.rb" in the command line and get "No such file or directory." I''ve never had to use command lines before so this is alien to me. Can''t they just make installation GUI-based for non-geeks like

Hi all, I''m a web designer/-developer. I found Ruby and Ruby on Rails, and as I can understand (for now) this is what I''ve been looking for. I''m really exited about this.

Hi All, I''ve finally got fed up of struggling with Windows and am on the verge of splashing out on a Macbook for Ruby/Rails development. I''ve seen DHH''s post about it on loudthinking but I wondered if anyone else has any more wisdom... Is it worth it over a powerbook?
