Re: Ruby 1.8.0 .pkg/installer for OS X?

Is there a reason you don't want to use fink or darwin-ports? Both of
these provide dependency resolution (ie, readline library).

I am pretty sure ruby 1.8 is in the unstable branch for fink at the
moment.

Fink is righteous, and far be it from me to discourage its use under any
circumstances.

FWIW, however, I found ruby 1.8 to be one of the most straightforward
builds from source I''ve come across under OS X, just riding bareback on
gcc. I don''t recall having to do any special config line mojo at all.
configure;make;sudo make install and I was set. (Of course, I had
readline &c built already. YMMV.)

Cheers,
Thomas
