That sounds similar to my setup.

I hadn''t come across RVM - this looks great.

I''m just headed off for xmas so won''t have a go at this til
new year -
but it sounds very promising as a way to restart development on the
stable branch with 10.6. What I''ll need to test is that I can use this
ruby to compile against wxWidgets 2.8 - which is what has been the
headache so far.
