Subject: Re: mod_ruby and Mac OS X

You are missing libruby.a, which is not included in the Mac build of 
Ruby (for reasons I don't know).  The easiest way to get libruby.a and 
to continue to use the Mac provided Ruby 1.6.7 is to install RubyCocoa. 
  The latest release (for built-in Ruby 1.6.7 on Mac) is available as a 
.dmg here (version 0.4.0 is the latest version):

http://www.imasy.or.jp/%7ehisa/mac/rubyosx/files/

It should give a working libruby.a in the right place, permitting 
installation of mod_ruby.  RubyCocoa is also interesting in its own 
right.

If you want to build it yourself, you can manually install libruby.a 
from the source, following the instructions found here:

http://www.imasy.or.jp/~hisa/mac/rubycocoa/build.en.html

If you don't want to install RubyCocoa (yet), just stop after 
installing libruby.a.

You can get the Ruby 1.6.7 .tgz file here:

http://xyz.lcs.mit.edu/ruby/1.6/

You can get the RubyCocoa source here (version 0.4.0 is the latest 
version):
