Thanks Michael... I've set it up now.. (don't worry I had a back on a clone disk.....!! just in case)
installed the MySQL 5.1.38 (x86_64) and gem mysql (x_86_64) all my gems are up and running now (rubygems 1.3.5, Rails 2.3.4, Ruby 1.8.7... I even installed Ruby 1.9 for testing purposes...) my major concern (and reason of being upset..) was this non-info about 64-bits equipment with EFI32....!! it was not clear at all in all googled posts what to do in this case I could understand Apple not being concerned by non-Apple dev environment, but I am using it as a Unix dev machine (I also run a Linux server w Debian) On 12 sep, 15:50, mole1066 <[email protected]> wrote: > I feel your pain.

I hope Apple will unlock 64-bits kernel/extensions for us soon, w some new firmware ..... so full 64 should bring better performances.... > MIchaelwww.itdashboard.co.uk --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
