[MacRuby-devel] MacRuby development in Xcode

[Rick]

Thanks Matt - I'll watch the wiki.

I'm assuming this one doesn't need to have a bug report filed with apple.  
Correct?

A possibly related error with MacRuby/Xcode that I've been seeing is this.

When I create a new Ruby project, the MacRuby.framework shows up as 
unavailable.  It is red (with no lego block) in both the Project navigator 
and the Project Summary / Linked Frameworks.  Deleting the existing entry 
from the navigator and adding a new instance to the Linked Frameworks seems 
to work - at least the visual indicators look right and I'm able to build.

Is this also covered with the other fix or is there something else needed 
to correctly install?

thanks in advance
Rick
