Some Leopard + Ruby Notes (2007-10-27)
Ruby developers may want to keep the following bits of information in mind when they install Leopard.
- If you replaced Tiger’s horribly broken /usr/bin/ruby with your own custom build (most of you did), be aware Leopard will overwrite it (now it points to the 1.8.6 Ruby.framework in /System that comes bundled). The same issue exists for the gem and rails executable. Not a big deal; re-overwrite as you see fit (or use the framework version and reinstall some gems and libraries).
- You’ll probably need to reinstall Xcode, as well (at least if you want a compiler!). Throw your Leopard disk back in, go to Optional Installs -> Xcode Tools and install XcodeTools.mpkg. Same process as with Tiger.
- I needed to reinstall MacPorts as well.
As you might expect, YMMV. More as I run across it.
