I have done as was suggested: I've read the posts & there are similar
messages but unfortunately not ones I can understand or use. So with
apologies for my stupidity, please could you suggest ways to get
libxml-ruby installed so I can install rubyosa ? The terminal printout
is given below.
ruby -v gives: ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [universal-
darwin8.0]
thankyou,
regards & happy new year
