Indeed, the problem (as I realized when I inspected the error messages 
and thought a bit) was that the pgsql commands weren't in my path.

When I put them there, I got new errors with 'make test', which I 
believe had to do with the fact that it was invoking psql without a 
database name, which was thus looking for a database named 'root' (the 
user I was running as).

I decided that make test was full of bunk, and went on and installed the 
compiled code. I'm happy to report, PL/Ruby is working nicely :)


So, in summary (for the record/archives):

In order to build PL/Ruby 0.3.8 to work with PostgreSQL 7.4.1 (the 
standard .tar.gz source, not some special package for OS X) I had to 
change one line in plruby.h from
#include "server/utils/array.h"
to
#include "utils/array.h"

After that, I needed (not unexpectedly) to explicitly specify the paths 
to pgsql (built version and source includes):

ruby extconf.rb --with-pgsql-dir=/usr/local/pgsql 
--with-pgsql-srcinc=/usr/local/src/postgresql-7.4.1/src/include


After the above, making and installing the code worked:
make
make install

And I just had to ignore the fact that make test didn't work at all.
