Subject: Re: getting ruby v1.8.6 on Mac OS X - what's the easiest way?

Well, if you want to install things like Ruby, or PHP and so on, you  
will want to have the Developer Tools installed. They're a huge and  
nice set of tools. Also if you are on OS X, seriously seriously  
consider purchasing TextMate. It really is the most Ruby-friendly  
editor on OS X. It may be a bit strange to use at first, but there is  
also a good book on it as well.
You could use a free editor, or another non-free one, but it won't  
come close.
