Re: installing mod-ruby on tiger

Thanks, I used the 1.8.4 version of ruby and it worked!
here is the info in case someone else has the problem.
My computer is set up with

$PATH$
/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin/

I have 3 ruby executables, I think the last 2 are the same.
/usr/bin/ruby
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [powerpc-darwin8.0]

/private/opt/local/var/db/dports/software/ruby/1.8.4_2/opt/local/bin/ruby
 (2005-12-24) [powerpc-darwin8.3.0]

/private/opt/local/bin/ruby
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [powerpc-darwin8.3.0]

I replace /ruby/usr/env ruby with
/ruby/usr/env /private/opt/local/bin/ruby
in the configure.rb file
and make worked fine. I used the page on installing
for tiger.
http://wiki.modruby.net/en/?InstallingOnMacOSX
ran their test, works! great!!!

so even though I have the patch on 1.8.2 and it runs rails,
it requires 1.8.4 for this. I will try to put 1.8.4 ahead on
the path so it becomes the default!

Thanks for pointing me towards a fix.
