Best way to get latest ruby on OS X?

Dennis Roberts

So I just got a mac mini and want to get the latest version of ruby.
What is the best way to do that? fink? compile myself? Is there some
fancy DMG just waiting for me? Thanks.

There may well be something on fink but compiling Ruby from source takes
all of 5 minutes and you always know exactly what you've got. Installing
the fink infrastructure takes longer than that.

AFAIK, Fink version is a old one.

For Ruby on mac, go for Darwin Ports: so far, they alway tracks latest
releases.

But don't support readline, which makes irb pretty painful.

Stay away from fink at all costs. Just download the source tarball and
compile it.

Alternatively, you might want to consider Gentoo's Portage:

Once installed, simply type "emerge ruby".

You're right (i've never noticed this pb as i don't use irb). That's
rather suprising as this port depends on readline, though.

I find it handy, particularly because the debugger doesn't work very
well (and doesn't have readline support either).

making it depend on readline is just a line in the portfile.

Making ruby see that readline is there and build against it is harder.

I've killed some time trying to get it to happen, with no success, yet.

Sure... But it shows there is a problem with this port. Browsing
bugzilla on Darwinports show that the maintainer is aware of it and is
working on it.
