Hi guys,  
I have run into some problems with my RoR installation on Leopard. I’m  
wondering if there are any logical ways from the command line to  
uninstall everything I have installed in order to start fresh? I have  
installed ruby, rails, rubygems, sqlite, readline, and mysql.

Cheers,  
Cormac

Why? It comes for free with the default Leopard install.

Assuming that you’ve been disciplined and installed everything in /usr/  
local/xxxx and kept your compiled source files, you could try “sudo  
make uninstall” on the components first and if that doesn’t work, just  
delete the respective executables.
