I have a macbook pro version 10.7.4.
I’m so keen to start using the ruby programming language and the ruby on
rails framework,
but I cannot download the damn thing ! It’s literally driving me crazy…
I get up to the readline stage and it reads the following:
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)… no
checking for gcc… no
checking for cc… no
checking for cc… no
checking for cl… no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
Also I have xcode downloaded and everything else that is required :S
That tutorial is 7 years old. The entire thing is pretty much out of
date. Your mac already has a newer version of ruby installed, pretty
much no-one uses lighttpd or fastcgi any more (at least not for
development) etc.
You didn’t say how you downloaded Xcode, but you’ll want the version
from
the App Store. Once that is installed, you’ll need to launch it, go to
Preferences, then the Downloads tab. You’ll see the option to install
the
command line tools at the bottom of the list of modules.
Although, if you start out using sqlite as the database, you probably
won’t
need to compile anything anyway.
Appreciate all of your responses !
I can’t believe I turned a blind eye to the link I posted that was 7
years
old… wow, however I was using other guides that were more recent as
well.
I’ll try all of your suggestions.
