From: ToddG Date: 2005-05-19T04:45:14+09:00 Subject: Re: Compiling MySQL-Ruby on Tiger Possibly avoiding the issue, one workaround might be building your own ruby 1.8.2 in /usr/local and using that instead of the Apple version. I haven't tried on Tiger but the build was simple on Panther (./configure ; make; sudo make install), and I've generally had better luck with self-compiled versions of langs included with OS X (like ruby, python, etc.)
