Hi, Just to tell I succeeded in compiling the postgres gem for the postgresql82 macports with the line: sudo gem install postgres – --with-pgsql-include=/opt/local/include/ postgresql82/ --with-pgsql-lib-dir=/opt/local/lib/postgresql82/ ## Jean-Christophe M. > **[Édition et distribution de livres sur la musique, de partitions et de revues...](https://symetrie.com/fr)** > > Présentation des publications de Symétrie en musique, musicologie et médecine de la voix.

Hi all, I will have to deploy a RoR project at the customer’s site. How can I protect the code of the webapp ? Is there an obfuscator for ruby ? Do you think of another alternative ? Thank you for your feedbacks. Fred ---

Search the archives of this group on [http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk](http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk), the topic’s been brought up a lot, at least once during the last week. I think the consensus is to either: #1 - host it yourself #2 - put your faith in copyright law / legal measures. Any technical solution is flawed anyway - if a computer can make sense of it, so can a dedicated attacker. Isak ---

Your help is appreciated. Hosting it myself is not possible, it is a customer requirement. I dont want an ultimate solution but an minimum (does it make sense?) one, just to prevent things like, for instance, modifying easily a view… Can we make a RoR app as a compiled executable ? ---
