Hi
Before I go off and try to install rbbr on OS X, I thought I would
ask if anyone has experience with getting it installed and
working on OS X.
If you have it working, do you have a set of instructions for
the install (and all the dependencies)?
Thanks

Well, it shouldn't be that hard. You can install the ruby-gnome bindings (and Gnome too for that matter) using
DarwinPorts (http://darwinports.opendarwin.org). Be forewarned though that doing this will create an entirely
new ruby install located within your /opt/local directory. Personally, this is how I use Ruby period as if offers
an easy way to have an up-to-date Ruby install as well as added other programs (FreeRIDE to name one).

That's good to hear. You seem to imply that Gnome is optional.
Is that correct?

Thanks for pointing out FreeRIDE on darwin ports. I didn't know it
was there and I was just wondering how I was going to install it.

From the rbbr page:
Requirements:
# ruby 1.6.x, 1.8.x, 1.9.x
# Ruby/GTK2 0.9.1(older versions can't work this rbbr)
All others are optional (though probably useful).
So all you really need is the Ruby/GTK bindings (not Gnome)
"port install rb-gnome" Should install everything.
From the long_description of that port:
"Gnome2 libraries for ruby including gtk2, gstreamer, gconf, gnomevfs and more."
So... While Gnome may be optional according to rbbr, DarwinPorts will probably install that
as a dependancy for rb-gnome. However, it probably won't give you a full Gnome install, only
the libraries that are dependencies of rb-Gnome.
