Subject: Re: Compiling Ruby on Mac OS X

I installed Ruby successfully a couple of weeks ago and it runs fine.

Have you installed the most recent Developer Toolkit (December 2001) 
from Apple's site?
I was having trouble compiling a bunch of staff before I downloaded 
this toolkit. Now everything works fine.


FYI:

uname -a
Darwin localhost 5.2 Darwin Kernel Version 5.2: Fri Dec  7 21:39:35 
PST 2001; root:xnu/xnu-201.14.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC  Power Macintosh 
powerpc


cc -v
Reading specs from /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/2.95.2/specs
Apple Computer, Inc. version gcc-934.3, based on gcc version 2.95.2 
19991024 (release)


Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Nick
