Hey I am trying to setup eRuby on my Mac with osx leopard. i have a  
MAMP server running for developmental purposes. I downloaded the eRuby  
packages and tried to install according to directions here

[http://ralovely.com/2008/03/06/getting-apache2-to-serve-eruby-files-on-macosx-105/](http://ralovely.com/2008/03/06/getting-apache2-to-serve-eruby-files-on-macosx-105/)

I got to the ./configure.rb and i received the error: can’t find  
header files for ruby. Any solutions? help?
