Subject: Re: [ANN] Project Name Changed to "One-Click Ruby Installer"


I used darwinports to install Fox, FXRuby, and Freeride on OS X. Worked 
like a charm. The only caveat is that the installer only works with the 
darwinport version of ruby, so I had to install that, even though I had 
installed ruby already.  However, one nice thing about the darwinports 
ruby is that it configures readline for irb for you automatically 
(though I had gotten it setup for regular ruby already).

Now I just need to get DBI and mysql-ruby setup. I think that's now a 
bit more complex since I installed mysql via fink.

That said, I look forward to the OSX installer. I immensely appreciate 
the Windows one.

Regards,
Nick
