What do you mean by that in particular, and how is that relevant to the OP's issue? Upgrading to Snow Leopard involves some changes due to the 64-bit architecture. These potentially come into play regardless of where the OP's Ruby introverts and gems live. Personally, I think that the tools included with Mac OS already do a great job managing my Ruby interpreter and gems, and I see no reason to duplicate what they do I do use RVM, but for a different purpose altogether (managing multiple versions of Ruby and multiple gemsets). > > The community has created several excellent tools to help you accomplish > this: > > http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/ > http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/ > http://gembundler.com/ > > With these three tools you can take control and manage your Ruby and > Rails environments, as well as their dependencies including gems and > supporting libraries (e.g. ImageMagick, MongoDB, etc).
