 System Information: Lion 10.7.2 and Xcode 4.2

 I ran into trouble installing ruby19.

 {{{
 :info:configure checking whether the C compiler works... no
 :info:configure configure: error: in
 `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_ruby19/ruby19/work/ruby-1.9.2-p290'
 :info:configure configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
 }}}

 Looking at the Portfile, I found this:

 {{{
 # ruby-1.9.x built with clang or llvm-gcc does not work
 # see list "MacPorts on Lion (common issues, fixes, and workarounds)"
 # http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2011-July/015263.html
 if {${configure.compiler} == "clang" ||
       ${configure.compiler} == "llvm-gcc-4.2"} {
       configure.compiler gcc-4.2
       if {![file executable ${configure.cc}]} {
               depends_build-append port:apple-gcc42
               configure.compiler apple-gcc-4.2
       }
 }
 }
 }}}

 I read the information in the link provided in the comment and decided to
 try to compile with clang.

 I was able to successful build ruby19 and subsequently rb19-rails by
 commenting out the compiler if conditional.

 #       if {![file executable ${configure.cc}]} {
 #               depends_build-append port:apple-gcc42
 #               configure.compiler apple-gcc-4.2
 #       }
 # }
 }}}

 Can the maintainer please investigate and update the Portfile as
 necessary?

 Thanks!

 Joshua
