Have you guys looked at Locomotive and the appropriate Locomotive Rails bundle for the Ruby/Rails support? That should give fully encapsulated ruby support (i.e. it won't interfere with any existing system installations). I wouldn't think it would be a big deal to use these components to create a single installer for Instiki on OS X.
FWIW, Rails doesn't have any deep dependency on readline; it just needs it for script/console to work. It's nice to support, but it's also trivial to remove. In script/console, where it builds up the irb command line, remove the completion require argument: "-r irb/ completion". -- John On Mar 16, 2007, at 10:25 AM, Matthias Tarasiewicz wrote: > oleg kourapov wanted to create packages for instiki on osx for the > current 0.11rc1 and also for the upcoming 0.12 version. unfortunately > we ran into problems, since osx has ruby 1.8.2 packaged, but rails > depends on ruby 1.8.4 and the readline library, as well as swig is > broken on OSX Tiger. > > we are searching for a one-click-way to get all the prerequisites for > instiki installed, without the need of installing apple XCODE-tools, > which most of the "normal users" don't have installed for sure. > the current idea is, to have a link to a ruby-osx-installer-package > that includes all the needed libraries for instiki on osx. sadly there > seems to be no such package existing. > i opened i thread in the entropy.ch discussion forums, those guys had > a ruby installer before but not since ruby 1.8.2 is packaged in osx. > > http://www.entropy.ch/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?p=10086#10086 > > maybe someone on this list has a better idea or knows of such a > package out there. we need to get "Chuckle… There Is No Step Three" or > at least the 3 step-installation back on osx ;) > > -matthias > _______________________________________________ > Instiki-devel mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/instiki-devel _______________________________________________ Instiki-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/instiki-devel
