Well, it may not have been "right," but this seems to have worked for me. I built from source. When I did the ./configure I used -prefix=/usr/bin. When I did the sudo make install, it didn't put the binaries in the right place (never actually found them), but everything else seemed right. I did a sudo cp to get the binaries from the build directory into /usr/bin. So far, no problems that I've seen. YMMV. For that matter, mine may, too if I do find a problem later. -----Original Message----- From: Marshall Farrier [mailto:info / marshallfarrier.com] Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2011 10:53 AM To: ruby-talk ML Subject: Re: ruby 1.9 mac install problems 7stud -- wrote in post #1010642: > Thanh Pham wrote in post #1010631: > > If you like what you see, then you can install Macvim and the > vividchalk colorscheme for a great combo. Thanks for the great tips! ruby1.9 does show 1.9.2 as version. I'll also definitely try the vim for mac you recommended. I have a color-coded vim for Linux set up at work but have just been using the pre-installed, plain version on mac. The color coding is nice. Also, if my shebang for ruby 1.8 is #!/usr/bin/ruby -w, I should presumably change it to #!/usr/bin/ruby1.9 -w (?). -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
