Hi Mark!

My thoughts:

1 - I've been meaning to build 1.8 for ages, but haven't because I'm
lazy, and I'd rather be working on my ruby projects. Now that you did
this, I have ruby1.8 locally. So, its useful.

2 - great that the samples and ri docs are there!

3 - it doesn't have ruby/cocoa or ruby/aeosa, which I think are pretty
important for a ruby/os-x system

4 - the installer doesn't say where it's going to go (/usr/local/). I
would never have installed it if I hadn't  read one of the posters say
it goes there, the thought of it trashing or intermingling with my
1.6-as-shipped-by-apple version is too horrible to contemplate. A note
would be very reassuring to the wary!

5 - if you could manage it... it would be very useful to be able to
change the install location. It won't RUN from a different location, but
I would be able to install it to, say, /usr/local/stow/ruby18/.... then 
run stow to create symlinks so that ruby THINKS it's in /usr/local. That
would mean I could then uninstall it when I want to with a single
command.

6 - it has dependencies on your local system:

$ /usr/local/bin/irb 
dyld: ruby can't open library: /supp/lib/libreadline.4.3.dylib  (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
Trace/BPT trap

I tried this first, because I wanted to know if it had readline support.
I think you linked against a libreadline you've installed locally, but I
think you could link against  the systems readline framework, how to do
so is described here:

  http://cherryville.org/8896/ruby_readline_for_mac.html

I used his precompiled bundle, and now irb as-shipped has a history.
Yeah!

(I'm using osx 10.2, btw)

7 - I would think it is really, really cool if you could get whatever
kind of script/project that you used into the ruby 1.8 cvs tree, so that
any os/x developer who checked out the cvs tree could build a .dmg like
you did, without having to figure it out themselves, because you'd
already done the hard work...

and thanks for doing the hard work, btw!

Cheers,
Sam
