Ruby upgrade in Mac OS X Leopard

Hello guys,

I am working with the standard Ruby delivered within Mac OS X Leopard. It
is the version 1.8.6 patch level 111. Is it possible to apply patches? or
do they come with Mac OS X updates? If I should apply them manually up to
which patch level I should go without braking the Ruby environment? Can I
go to 1.9.0?

Thanks in advance for your answer,

Guillermo

I don't think anybody here will recommend touching apple's ruby version,
as this will get you in trouble sooner or later

If you want/need a more recent version, you should take a look at Fink
or MacPorts.

Hope this helps.

1.9.0?

Thanks,

Guillermo

I would just grab the tarball for 1.9 and run ./configure --program-
suffix=19. You already have all the pieces you need.

Soon! JRuby 1.1.3 will have a --1.9 flag that allows you to switch
versions. Only a few things work so far, like fibers and IO to IO copying.
