I am not at all familiar with the "fireruby" project, but I can say
that if you try to install a gem that was intended for the
"i586-linux" platform on your Mac OS X box, it's just not going to
work.

Based on the output of "gem update" that you included, it looks like
there in fact isn't a Mac-specific gem for fireruby. There may be
other options available to you for using that software on your Mac,
however; you'll just need to ask the fireruby developer(s) what's up.

Hope this helps,

Lyle

Maybe this page can help:

http://fireruby.ruby...

According to this it should support OS X. However I see you're
running PPC not Intel Mac, that means an extension written in C will
have to be recompiled. Endian issues.

Hi, I just recently discovered the same problem, not sure if you've
figured it out by now (looks like your post was a while ago...).
I don't know why rubygems did not find the darwin version because if I
go to rubyforge: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=596&relea...
the darwin gem is right there, just install with
sudo gem install /path/to/fireruby_0.4.1_powerpc_darwin.gem
