I half-agree on your comment... my development environment was safe ... all recommandations on SL upgrades are done regarding 64-bits architecture which is the architecture aimed by Apple for the next OS generations... BUT at the presnet time some hardware are 64-bits but still EFI32 ... and NO recommandation at all about how to proceed for a safe upgrade ...
I discovered (alone. after 3 days tests, back forth..) that : - I should migrate to MySQL 64-bits (even with an EFI32) - I shoudl rebuild a mysql gem with x86_64 architecture (even with EFI32) but - build myself a Readline 6.0 lib as 5.2 version W Apple is wrong ! - build myself a iconv lib (same remark) - recompile Ruby with XCode3 for i386 architecture ( not x64 guess why.. ? ) Upgrading to SL was easy.. but I was upset because of no clear statement from Apple Dev or Support.. to Rails dev 'in-between' 32 and 64 architecture or Apple should NOT include Rails dev in their frameworks ... it works now.. back to equivalent safe environment I had w 10.5 On 10 sep, 21:07, Robert Walker <[email protected]> wrote: > Kad Kerforn wrote: > > this is the mess created by Apple ... > > This is just an aside, but it drives me nuts when people blame OS > vendors (Apple or anyone else) for "stopping" their development.

I did !.... and I don't expect Apple doing it, just making clear statements about their architectures 32 / 64 / 64w EFI32 .... I could not understand what needed to be 32 or 64.... that's all > > It is not Apple's mess. It is yours! > > I say this only as an observation.
