Subject: [Resolved] ruby-frontbase doesn't compile on Mac OS X version 10.5

In case anyone's interested, here's how I got it to install:

1. Download the gem source (ruby-frontbase-src-1.0.1.tgz) from http://rubyforge.org 
  (http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=1635&release_id=5201).

2. Do the following:

tar xzf ruby-frontbase-src-1.0.1.tgz

cd ruby-frontbase

<edit frontbase.c so that lines 23-63 are commented out>

gem build ruby-frontbase.gemspec

sudo gem install ruby-frontbase
