Tried stable-snapshot and snapshot both has the same issue… Just as a test I tried 1.8.7-p160 and that works and installs fine (./ configure, make, make install) ---

I’m running: Mac OSX V 10.5.7 1.25 GHz PPC G4 I’ve successfully built ruby-1.8.[67]p"72-160", ruby-1.9.1p"0-129", and ruby-1.9.2dev(many versions). cd ruby-1… ./configure --prefix=/opt/… --enable-pthread make make install Is it possible your “autoconf” step is tripping you up? Or is it possible that there’s a problem with the 10.5.7 intel build? I seriously doubt it’s the second as it’s been several years since the intel intro and I’m definitely in the minority as a ppc developer. Rick
