Still fighting with this, wishing I could do all the cool, new stuff with MacRuby 0.4 and HotCocoa.

You must realize that this is all leftover issues from following the Hivelogic article on installing Ruby on Rails on Tiger. Readline was recommended there: http://hivelogic.com/articles/view/ruby-rails-mongrel- mysql-osx

Now with Leopard, it is not needed for installing Ruby from source, and it is a problem.

Ah yes, that dreaded article which destroyed so many installations… So there are basically three options to fix this. You can do it by hand as you did, but this can still leave you with many broken stuff and will lead to hard to debug annoying issues. The best solution imo is a re- installation of at least the system. You can do an “archive & install” which means your user data will preserved but the system will be removed and re-installed. Good luck! PS: As stated before, this isn't an issue with MacRuby, so I'm labelling it as “invalid” -- Ticket URL: <http://www.macruby.org/trac/ticket/54#comment:11> MacRuby <http://macruby.org/>
