Can anyone point me to potential problems with setting up a RubyCocoa  
Framework if Ruby has been installed with DarwinPorts and thus resides  
in /opt/local?

All comments welcome

The easy way is to install RubyCocoa from DarwinPorts as well. The  
port name is rb-cocoa.

Jim,

Your a gem!

The hardest part about DarwinPorts is finding a given package in the  
port  
name list. I guess rb-cocoa is not that far off, compared to some, but  
thanks for the pointer.

If I do such does it install all the examples and framework templetes  
in /opt/local? … and does X Code now know where to find them?

Peace

The /Developer stuff will still go to /Developer. XCode seems happy  
enough.

There’s a file called PortIndex that contains the summaries of all the  
ports. You could try grepping this. I found mine in:

/opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/rsync.rsync.darwinports.org\_dpupdate\_dports

I haven’t tried the DP ruby cocoa, but I suspect the framework and  
examples go in their normal places (/Library/Frameworks and  
/Developer/…).

Please visit the RubyCocoa mailing list for more info:
