Hi Steven,

Glad to hear it!  We can always use more volunteers around here.

Hmmm.  Well, I can't reproduce your results on 0.6 (and I've been  
building MacRuby on that release for awhile), so let's first make sure  
you're really working with the same bits I am, and also building /  
installing said bits in the same way.  I'm also going to talk SVN URLs  
here because that's where the "master bits" are and I can't speak to  
any sources cloned over into git-land since I don't use git, nor am I  
particularly clear on how often those bits are sync'd.

For LLVM:

http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk (revision 72741)

Being built/installed like so:

./configure
UNIVERSAL=1 UNIVERSAL_ARCH="i386 x86_64" ENABLE_OPTIMIZED=1 make -j4
sudo env UNIVERSAL=1 UNIVERSAL_ARCH="i386 x86_64" ENABLE_OPTIMIZED=1  
make install

For MacRuby:

http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/ruby/MacRuby/branches/ 
experimental (at revision 2092 when I ran my test)

Being cleaned/built/installed like so:

# First, clean out all the old cruft from any previous MacRuby Build
rake clean
rm -f miniruby *.a *.dylib macruby enc

# To build / install:
rake ; rake install

If all that fails for you, then maybe you have the DevTools mis- 
installed on your 10.6 box?  Email me your build information directly,  
off this list, and we can also make sure your environment is 100%  
kosher.

Thanks,

- Jordan
