Rails
1

Hi,

I have been working with ruby/ruby on rails/and mysql (latest releases)
on a PC. I just purchased a new Mac with Leopard… I know it comes with
ruby and ROR… I want to install the latest versions of Ruby, ROR,
Gems, MySQL… I have searched for installing them… any of you know a
sure way to install these? Maybe compile them my own? Any help would be
appreciated…

Thanks!

Updating the pre-installed Ruby interpreter is not recommended, as
explained here:

http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/ruby/wiki/FAQ

Rubygems and ROR can be updated via Rubygems.

You can compile MySQL using these instructions from Dan Benjamin:

Oops, I thought it requires markup. Here is the link again:

I installed everything from source on Ubuntu and it wasn’t difficult,
but I found that it was easier to use MacPorts to install MySQL, Ruby
and RubyGems and then use RubyGems to install all the gems you want.
I have written a blog
post about how I got it to work. Give it a try.
