Hi, I’m following the instructions from Hivelogic"Building Ruby, Rails, LightTPD, and MySQL on Tiger". I’m trying to install on a MacMini running Tiger(OSX 10.4.6). When I execute the Ruby install by running: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-pthread –with-readline-dir=/usr/local make sudo make install sudo make install-doc I get no errors, but I’m not sure if it executes correctly since I’m not 100% sure what this is supposed to do. The problem occurs when I try to execute the rubygems install in the next section on this line: sudo /usr/local/bin/ruby setup.rb I get sudo: /usr/local/bin/ruby: command not found. In “/usr/local/bin” there is no directory or executable named “ruby”. Should the Ruby make have created this?? Also none of the curl commands in this tutorial work for me. I had to download and untar the ruby files outside of the terminal program. Then use “mv” to move them to the correct directory. I can “curl” the file on the wiki curl website, so I can “curl” from terminal, just not the tutorial files. any ideas what I’m doing wrong?? thanks, Jon ---

hi, it sounds like you didnt install ruby in the local area. ---

There are known problems unpacking archives using Stuff-it which can cause bizarre problems. To be kosher according to Hivelogic’s instructions you need to get curl working. That’s a big problem right there. What shell are you using? curl is located in /usr/ bin. Is it there?

Hi, I was able to get the “curl” command to work in terminal. I added the “”–disable --epsv" option. Once I did this everything worked correctly. When I execute the following: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local –enable-pthread–with-readline-dir=/usr/local make sudo make install sudo make install-doc I get no errors, but ruby is not created in /usr/local/bin. I gave everyone r/w priv’s for these folders, so I don’t believe it is a permissions issue. I searched my entire hard drive with the “find” command in terminal, and ruby is not being created in another directory. I see there is something called “DarwinPorts” that is a package installation for ROR. Have you ever used that?? Any thoughts good or bad?? thanks, Jon ---

I’m assuming you’re getting a slew of messages. When things are compiling correctly they’re just information or warnings that can often times be ignored. Somewhere in the messages should be an indication of the problem. > The problem occurs when I try to execute the rubygems install in the > next section on this line: > sudo /usr/local/bin/ruby setup.rb I get > sudo: /usr/local/bin/ruby: command not found. Not producing a /usr/local directory when it’s invoked in the configure statement is a serious problem. It may indicate you don’t have write permissions in /usr. > In “/usr/local/bin” there is no directory or executable named “ruby”. > Should the Ruby make have created this?? Definitely yes. > Also none of the curl commands in this tutorial work for me. I had to > download and untar the ruby files outside of the terminal program. > Then use “mv” to move them to the correct directory.

Better to figure what’s wrong with the permissions before trying to fix anything manually. There could be weird problems later.

I was able to get Ruby to compile after I installed the latest X-code(v2.4) off of the Apple devolper website. I am using an Intel based Mac Mini. I believe the X-Code version I installed off a DVD was not compatible with the Intel Mac even though I got no error message indicating that. I also needed to add the following option to the “curl” command “–disable-epsv”. Without that option the curl command would not work. Jon Lesher ---

Have you ever used that?? Any thoughts good or > bad?? James Duncan Davidson’s article, “Sandboxing Rails With MacPorts” (nee darwinports) does a great job walking one through rails development setup on the mac (and explains some advantages of package management vs. install-by-hand).
