I am curious, where abouts did you need to modify the path to proceed?
BTW, all the other tutorials I have found rely on downloading the TGZ
files,
which becomes a mess when wanting to update. DarwinPorts are there for a
reason, and work exceptionally well. I don’t recommend using alternative
methods unless DarwinPorts either a) doesn’t have the version you want
b)
simply doesn’t have the package you want.

Both your set of instructions and the hivelogic instructions require
that I edit the path. I have been having no luck. First I tried the
command explicitly given to me by hivelogic. Didn’t work. Then I
edited every .XXXXX file I could find reference to, tried every
combination of syntax I could find, and no luck.
Is there anyone out there who knows how to edit a path on mac osx?
Seems crazy that Ruby on Rails would be stopped in its tracks by a path
issue.

Figured it out, and am sharing for the benefit of all newbies. Here is a
good place to look for instructions and an explanation, which helps you
out without regard to shell.
Note that the instructions actually were insufficient to do what I
needed, because the hivelogic instructions require that the addition of
/usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin go at the front. These instructions
put it at the end. So just put /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin before
$path with the space between teh two, and it works:
Note that this problem game up when trying to install rubygems, and it
told me the file was not a gzip. Stumped, even after fixing the path, I
redownloaded the file and that solved the problem. Now I’m continuing.
Sorry for those people who know this stuff well. I’m trying to help
everyone in my shoes.
install.rb: entering config phase…
—> lib
<— lib
—> ext
—> ext/fcgi
/usr/local/bin/ruby /Users/me/src/ruby-fcgi-0.8.6/ext/fcgi/extconf.rb
checking for fcgiapp.h… no
checking for fastcgi/fcgiapp.h… no
*** /Users/me/src/ruby-fcgi-0.8.6/ext/fcgi/extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.
and in the middle of trying to install fixrbconfig I got an error:
usr/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.0/ruby.h does not exist. This probably
means you haven’t yet installed Xcode from the Tiger DVD. You won’t be
able to compile Ruby extensions without it. Please install it then rerun
this program.
I had installed Xcode.
Any clue?
Also, I’m bothered by this error and the fact that configuration needs
to be fixed. Why do I need to “fix” something after installing it, why
do I have to use terminal to do it, and why do I have an obscure error
like this one?
The main problem I see with languages and scripts like Ruby on Rails,
PHP, etc. is that they will never be distributable to everyone who
really needs them because the task of installing the underlying
application is so daunting. Any discussion in the open source community
about solving that problem?
