[MacRuby-devel] macruby in a bubble

[Laurent Sansonetti]

Hi,

MacRuby installs itself inside a .framework bundle, in /Library/ 
Frameworks. It installs aliases to the executables in /usr/local/bin.  
Aliases have the "mac" prefix (irb -> macirb) to make sure MacRuby  
will not conflict with your system.

So, no system file is modified during installation. If you want to  
remove MacRuby after, you can simply delete /Library/Frameworks/ 
MacRuby.framework and /usr/local/bin/mac*.
