Hi Robert, ruby-serialport is not going to work anytime soon, but I think there are alternatives in the Cocoa world that you could use. I did some googling and found http://sourceforge.net/projects/ amserial/. You might be able to use this framework inside your app, assuming it works with garbage collection.

Hi Team:

Do you have a recommended way to do serial port I/O in a MacRuby environment? I was using ruby-serialport in the RubyCocoa environment but the gem gives me the following error:

Password: ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError) MacRuby does not support native extensions yet. Be patient :-) new-host:~ robertrice$
