I’m trying to install FXRuby (in order to user FreeRIDE. Are there any
better free Ruby IDE’s out there?) but get the following when trying to
configure it:
strauss@bash ~/Downloads/Ruby/ext/fxruby-1.4.6 > ruby install.rb config
install.rb: entering config phase…
—> lib
—> lib/fox14
<— lib/fox14
<— lib
—> ext
—> ext/fox14
/usr/bin/ruby
/Users/Strauss/Downloads/Ruby/ext/FXRuby-1.4.6/ext/fox14/extconf.rb
can’t find header files for ruby.
config failed
'system /usr/bin/ruby
/Users/Strauss/Downloads/Ruby/ext/FXRuby-1.4.6/ext/fox14/extconf.rb ’
failed
Try ‘ruby install.rb --help’ for detailed usage.
What am I doing wrong? I don’t understand why it can’t find Ruby’s
header files. Any help would be great.
Yes, you can try RADRAILS It is still on beta but much better than a
simple
editor
www.radrails.org
It is based on Eclipse technology

Which operating system is this?
If you’re running Linux, it may be that you haven’t installed the
“dev” package for Ruby, i.e. the package that includes such header
files.

It’s Darwin (Unix) on Mac OS X.

OK. And have you done the “fix” for Apple’s pre-installed Ruby on Mac OS
X? See:

Okay, I’m having the same problem again when trying to install the
postgresql gem:
$ gem install postgres

Building native extensions. This could take a while…
can’t find header files for ruby.
ERROR: While executing gem … (RuntimeError)
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
Gem files will remain installed in
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/postgres-0.7.1 for inspection.
ruby extconf.rb install postgres\n
What do I do?
