For anyone interested in running Ruby/SDL on Mac OS X, I have a walk-  
through up on my blog:

[http://inquirylabs.com/blog/?p=21](http://inquirylabs.com/blog/?p=21)

Ruby/SDL is a binding for the Simple DirectMedia Layer, which is a  
library that makes 2D (and some 3D) graphics as well as sound and  
basic keyboard/mouse support available in a cross-platform way.  
Perfect for building games with!

It was quite an adventure! Since I had such a tough time finding  
documentation for the procedure, I’m assuming it hasn’t been done  
very often before. Enjoy!
