It *should* be as simple as dropping these files into the mapserver source folder (no need to have it built) and following the instructions for building the Ruby mapscript. I see two possible problems:

- You would also have to install Postgres. Or edit the mapscriptvars file.

- Since you're new to all this, did you get SWIG installed somehow? The Ruby mapscript readme says you need that.


Otherwise rebuilding MapServer from scratch + Graphics Libs and GIS Libs works well enough also.

Thanks William,

That worked wonderfully.

Concerning the Ruby Mapscript, I wouldn't know where to start trying to build it from the mapscriptvars and libmap.a files. I'm very new to the Mac environment and *nix environment in general.

I had already built and installed the libraries required for Mapserver, but using your precompiled libraries sounds like a much more efficient solution so I'll be doing that in the future.
