How to make guard use polling on Snow Leopard

Rails
1

I can’t seem to get Guard 1.0.0 and rb-fsevent 0.9.0 or 0.4.3.1 to
talk to each other. Is there a way to get Guard to use polling instead
of rb-fsevent? I was on 10.6.6. Updating to 10.6.8 did not help. I
updated my XCode to 3.2.6 and that did not help.

I ran a utility called fseventmon that seems to show that the fs
events are happening:

/usr/local/bin/fseventsmon .

Any thoughts?

From the Guard maintainer:

Use Bundler and do not add the rb-fsevent gem to your Gemfile,
then start Guard with the --no-vendor option to let it ignore the
vendor gem.
