Thanks!  I tried the following on my Power Mac G5, getting the
same error output:

  % rake clean
  ...
  % setenv RC_ARCHS ppc
  % rake

Finally, I broke down and tried your exact recipe:

  % bash
  bash-3.2$ RC_ARCHS="ppc i386" rake macruby

This ran without complaints (!), so I tried:

  % sudo rake install

which also ran without complaints.  I then ran:

  % cd
  % rehash
  % which macruby
  % macruby -v
  MacRuby version 0.4 (ruby 1.9.1) [universal-darwin9.0, ppc]
  % macruby -e "p :hello"
  :hello


This indicates some level of functionality, so I have modified
http://www.macruby.org/trac/wiki/InstallingMacRuby accordingly.


I then ran:

  % rake test

and got:

  rake test
  (in /Local/_Private/Homes/rdm/Private/Work/MacRuby/MacRuby-0.4)
  getting archs from RC_ARCHS!
  Warning: your appear to use a PowerPC machine. MacRuby's PPC support
  is very basic and may be dropped in a near future. Supported
  architectures are Intel 32-bit and 64-bit (i386 and x86_64).
