That's correct. I installed the latest version of Ruby manually (1.8.1) 
and all was working fine. For some reason my initial attempt to install 
eRuby and mod_ruby to work with the built-in install of Apache caused 
it to get hosed. (It wouldn't start even with the default httpd.conf 
file.) Since I didn't know enough to debug it properly, I decided to 
dump Apple's and start from scratch. (Boy, that was a chore, hunting 
down all the places where Apple installs various files instead of 
/usr/local/apache/)

Anyhow, as noted in another response, I got help on the 
newsgroup--apparently the latest stable build of mod_ruby has known 
problems with MacOS X. Updating to the latest dev version makes 
everything hunky-dory.

Thanks for your information,
