Subject: Re: OS X - eruby install problem: "libruby.a: No such file or directory"

Standard OS X distribution does not have libruby.a, however it is very  
easy and straight forward to build Ruby yourself. I have successfully  
built ruby 1.6.8, eruby 1.0.0 and modruby 1.0.2 and made them all run  
under Apache 2.43 on OS X 10.2. The only tiny problem I experienced  
along the way was that to properly compile and install modruby I had to  
create directory "doc" manually. I compiled all three with  
"--enable-shared" and had to specify location of Apache 2.43 apxs  
executable for modruby.
