Hi Conrad, May I ask on which system you've got rails 2.3.0 RC1 and ruby 1.9.1 installed within an hour? I guess it was MacOS X?
I am not sure if what you write applies to FreeBSD. As I wrote I haven't installed any gems for Ruby18, so all execs such as rake, gem etc refer only to ruby19. Moreover, on FreeBSD all files relevant to Ruby18 and Ruby19 are being installed in different folders, for example: system files: /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9 /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8 local files (nothing is installed for ruby18 in local repositories): /root/.gem/ruby/1.9 (under this folder are bin, cache, doc, gems, specifications) /home/grzesiu/.gem/ruby/1.9 (the same here) I can run both version of ruby independently i.e. using irb18 and irb19 (irb was a copy of irb18). When I install rails, depending on which version of ruby I am using, it is being installed either to the folder within 1.8 or 1.9, and depending on whether I am using root or a normal user account, either system or local repositories are used. I don't know how is it on other systems but apparently the ruby port on FreeBSD was designed such that you can install both versions of ruby at the same time (there are some system libraries which depend specifically on ruby 1.8.6, so using ruby 1.9.1 would be impossible if it was not done). Even when I installed Passenger it automatically detected that and asked to add this line to httpd.conf: PassengerRuby /usr/local/bin/ruby19 In my opinion the problem I am having has nothing to do with how I am installing Rails. The unimplemented fork in Ruby 1.9.1 port on FreeBSD suggests problems in the port itself, and that the problem wouldn't disappear if I installed the port differently. The problem is reproducible when I am using irb19 only, without even touching rails or gems. I wonder what happens when you type this command in irb on your Mac OS X: @pid = fork I've just checked it in irb18 and it works, which is clearly a proof of problems with the irb19 version only.
