OK, Matt, I really, *really* hate asking this question, but: Do you have the Apple Developer tools installed? The reason I'm asking is that, buried in the mkmf.log contents that you posted, I see several occurrences of: sh: line 1: gcc: command not found and "gcc" is the GNU C/C++ compiler. That's not part of the standard Mac OS X install, but it is part of the freely available developer tools. A CD-ROM with this software may have come with your Mac; otherwise, you'll need to download it from Apple's "Developer Connection" site. Hope this helps, Lyle
