[MacRuby-devel] Can't build trunk

[Laurent Sansonetti]

Building doing "rake" then "sudo rake install" should work fine.  
Sometimes a bug is introduced in miniruby which results in empty  
Makefiles in extensions.

The error in irb you got was due to a bug that I fixed yesterday.

It's the problem you get when using the development branch, it's not  
guaranteed to be stable (or even build). I know the testing/stable  
branch is old, though.
