hi john! yes, i looked at locomotive! the main problem with locomotive is, that it is really big and not for end-users. you would have to start locomotive, inside locomotive start instiki. thats too much to ask from end-users. i am searching for some kind of one-click-installer for osx. a small osx package that includes the broken dependencies for sqlite on osx. we found the following 2 packages existing for osx, but still they don't meet our needs. http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/ruby-universal/ http://mail.madstop.com/pipermail/puppet-users/2006-August/000106.html what would be missing is sqlite3 which is not included in those packages. the swig sqlite3 dependency should not exist anymore, so having a ruby installer with sqlite3 should do the trick. i'm actually wondering why there is no "official" ruby osx package.
