I was thinking about something like this.

The ruby shipped with my copy of 10.4 is already universal: $ /usr/bin/ruby -ve 'p RUBY_PLATFORM'ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [universal-darwin8.0] "universal-darwin8.0" but Config::CONFIG is still messed up: $ /usr/bin/ruby -vrrbconfig -e 'p Config::CONFIG["target"]' ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [universal-darwin8.0] "powerpc-apple-darwin8.0" $ /usr/bin/ruby -vrrbconfig -e 'p Config::CONFIG["host"]' ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [universal-darwin8.0] "powerpc-apple-darwin8.0" $ /usr/bin/ruby -vrrbconfig -e 'p Config::CONFIG["build"]' ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [universal-darwin8.0] "powerpc-apple-darwin8.0" _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list Rubygems-developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
