Did you install XCode? Maybe you have an intel mac, not a powerpc mac? I 
don't know if the script does or doesn't work with intel macs, but it 
worked for my powerpc iBook G4. I'm getting a MacBook soon, so I'll be 
watching the thread with interest. I'm probably going to just compile my 
own ruby though. It's too late for me on the iBook to go that route, but 
I think it's a bit cleaner.
