Subject: Ruby 1.8 Preview 5 on OS X Panther...(SUCCESS)

On the very latest release of OS X Panther (7B21), Ruby 1.8 Preview 5 
compiles (w/gcc 3.3) without any problems...including openssl, syck, 
etc.

It still does not build readline support because of OS X's 
configuration...not Ruby's.  Its still possible to build with a bit of 
work.  I will try and contact Apple with hopes to have readline in the 
Ruby that is distributed with Panther this fall...it really helps the 
IRB experience :-)

Thanks to the team!
