For what it's worth, I've had zero problems with the Apple-supplied  
ruby, rails, etc... I updated some gems but ferret is running great  
(better than on our Linux servers, in fact -- no end of problems on  
Ubuntu 7.04 x64). I would recommend sticking with the Apple-supplied  
ruby; for once they've gotten it right, and everything seems to work  
beautifully.
