       ^^^^^

    I couldn't figure out the right tweak.  It died
    when it tried to build the curses extension.

       ^^^^^

    Is 1.7.2 available as a tar-ball anywhere?
    (or do I need to use CVS?)  I really want to be able
    to program in Ruby on my laptop, but my efforts to
    get it installed have failed up to this point.



For what it's worth, I just (as in: Tue Dec 18 13:05:55 PST 2001)
tried to compile ruby out of CVS on OS X, and I got this error:

cc -g -O2 -pipe -no-precomp -I. -I. -I/usr/local/include -c process.c
process.c: In function `proc_setpgrp':
process.c:989: too few arguments to function `setpgrp'





OS X's man page for setpgrp says the following:

NAME
     setpgid, setpgrp - set process group

SYNOPSIS
     #include <unistd.h>

     int
     setpgid(pid_t pid, pid_t pgrp)

     int
     setpgrp(pid_t pid, pid_t pgrp)



The relevant part of process.c looks like:

    985 static VALUE
    986 proc_setpgrp()
    987 {
    988 #if defined(HAVE_SETPGRP) && defined(SETPGRP_VOID)
    989     if (setpgrp() < 0) rb_sys_fail(0);
    990 #else
    991 # ifdef HAVE_SETPGID
    992     if (setpgid(0, 0) < 0) rb_sys_fail(0);
    993 # else
    994     rb_notimplement();
    995 # endif
    996 #endif
    997 }

I hope that helps.
