[ruby-talk:22858] Re: Building Ruby on MacOS 10.1

I was able to build ruby-1.6.5, make ruby. It passed make test. I was not 
able to make all, the curses library would not build do to 
-two_levelnamespace. If someone could tell what the need for the curses 
would be and was there anything to make after that?

1: I think you need to download from apple the devtools there, the one 
that came with 5G64 apparently, does not work.

2. Download the dlcompat package from gnuosx.(They are slower than ...) 
libdl has dlopen. Why it doesn't supply dlfcn.h, I don't know?

3. I had to build my own dlfcn.h, that I found with sherlock and modified 
from the man pages. dlfcn.h must have been there with 10.0!
