Hi,

i think ruby's source isn't included in osx.

Build ruby yourself to solve this problem.

Download tarball of ruby and extract it,
and run the following line (replace some paths for your environment.):

cd /path/to/ruby-src
./configure --enable-shared --prefix=$HOME/local
make && make install

---
ruby will be installed to prefix ($HOME/local is in this example),
 so you need to put the prefix path to $PATH in your shell.
And you must install rubygems also if you're using ruby1.8.x .

Thanks,

sorah
