Ok, I switched to building Mono from source instead of through ports - ran into some trouble building mono itself, but I'll get that sorted out and then try building Ivan's fork and let you guys know how that goes.

And a big thank you to all for helping out so much - it really pushes someone new to IronRuby like me to actually get things working and not simply give up :-)

Thanks again and here's wishing all of you a very happy new year.
Best,
Sidu.

Ok now that I know what that error message means i went ahead and forked ironruby also. I created a branch called mono and it builds successfully on my mac with mono.

I basically applied many of the fixes from seo's patch but for the git layout and with the sources from 18/12/2008. I think you also have to set the MERLIN_ROOT environment variable if you're using the git layout.
I use a .bashrc file and there I added the line
export MERLIN_ROOT='/Users/ivan/src/ironruby/merlin/main'

To get ironruby from my fork and compile it:

git clone git://github.com/casualjim/ironruby.git <http://github.com/casualjim/ironruby.git>
cd ironruby
git checkout -b mono
git pull origin mono
cd merlin/main/Languages/Ruby
rake compile mono=1

I tried using Michael's branch but it didn't want to work for me.

Thanks Seo, Michael :)

    Try the latest patch on
    http://sparcs.kaist.ac.kr/~tinuviel/download/IronRuby/
    <http://sparcs.kaist.ac.kr/%7Etinuviel/download/IronRuby/>

    (Or equivalently, Michael Letterle's git tree on github)
