Subject: How to install eRuby on Mac OS X 10.3

Welcome list, I am new to this and to ruby :-)
I want to start ruby and use it instead of php where it is possible to 
write small and medium sized web applications using sql and xml. i 
tried that in php but was not happy with the object orientation.

I hope that ruby will force me into more oop-like coding style and 
enable more possibilities - I once did java for a short period

Can one hand me over some tutorial/documentation links how to set up 
ruby/eruby and configure apache on Mac OS X? apache is already running:
http://ionas.homeunix.org/

I was following the following information:
http://modruby.net/en/index.rbx/mod_ruby/install.html#label-0

ionas:~/Desktop/eruby-1.0.5 ionas$ ./configure.rb 
--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --enable-shared

ionas:~/Desktop/eruby-1.0.5 ionas$


There simply is no libruby.a - how do I get that libary now? how can I 
compile it from where?


ionas:/usr/lib/ruby/1.6/powerpc-darwin7.0 ionas$ ls -ha
