Unnsee, I'd strongly recommend ceasing use of your system ruby and just using RVM instead: http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/
Not only is it probably the easiest way to just install and use 1.9.2 (which, by the way, does work on Snow Leopard), but it's also a very powerful ruby manager that allows you to switch amongst different rubies (1.8, 1.9, ree, jruby, rubinius, etc.). It also has other features like gemsets which can be useful if you work on different projects. RVM is quickly becoming the community-standard way to to run ruby. - Ben On Sat, Dec 18, 2010 at 12:37 PM, Unnsse Khan <[email protected]> wrote: > Greetings fellow Rubyists, > > I am trying to upgrade my machine from: > > - ruby 1.8.7 (2010-08-16 patchlevel 302) [i686-darwin10] > - Rails 2.3.5 > > to Ruby 1.9 & Rails 3 > > When I looked at the Ruby website, it stated that only 1.8.6 is available > for Snow Leopard: > > http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/ > > After scouring the web, I found this URL: > > http://wonko.com/post/how-to-compile-ruby-191 > > But from my command line, this is what happened when I tried downloading it > using curl: > > curl ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/ruby-1.9.1-p0.tar.bz2 -o > ruby-1.9.1-p0.tar.bz2 > > % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time > Current > Dload Upload Total Spent Left > Speed > 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- 0:00:03 --:--:-- > 0 > curl: (78) RETR response: 550 > > Is Ruby 1.9.2 supported on Snow Leopard? > > Would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction in > terms of the best way of > getting setup. > > Anyone know of the best blogs or other documentation that help me get up > and running? > > Happy programming... > > -- > SD Ruby mailing list > [email protected] > http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby > -- SD Ruby mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby
