Thanks to everyone for their input. I decided to just use the default install of ruby and upgrade the rails gem, plus install mysql, http://bit.ly/Z1xJA. Still leaves open using macports or a new complete install in the future.
I downloaded the 30 day trial of textmate and have started working with it. I've seen some screencasts showing some great stuff for ruby/ rails. I'll see if I can get some of that under my belt. -Brad On Apr 18, 8:13 am, "Billee D." <[email protected]> wrote: > Not sure if this helps, but Dan from Thoughtbot has a great guide for > getting a decent Ruby dev environment set up on Mac OS X Leopard: > > http://giantrobots.thoughtbot.com/2009/3/30/2009-rubyist-guide-mac-os... > > I'm personally not that big on vim/vi, and I only use Git for tracking > some Gems, but there are certainly some benefits to this setup.
