Uh, I understand your frustrations but, hey, relax a bit, okay? I wouldn't say it was a lie - they just made assumptions about whether you would have other software installed under /usr/local ... As a Mac user I'm sure you know that *most* mac installs do not uninstall automatically... but they do uninstall easily by deleting the app or folder, which I suppose was what they were saying... If you'd like help with a script to clean up the one-click installer just say the word and I'll be glad to help... If you'd email me a list of files that the installer installed I'll send you a script to safely clean them up... Anyway, going forward, I'd suggest you use MacPorts to install and maintain a "non-Apple" version of Ruby - the Ruby port maintainer is great about keeping it up to date with the latest patch level and you can choose between version with and without tk... There are even a few gui tools to manage installed ports if you prefer that kind of thing... Cheers, Tim -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
