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.
