Building Ruby 1.8.1 on Panther

I just posted a entry to my (new) weblog on building the latest CVS of
Ruby on OS X Panther. It covers installing readline before Ruby to
enable irb to work properly. You can find the post here:

I will be posting the use of xCode (Apple’s new code editor) with Ruby.
It has some nice support right out of the box for Ruby syntax
highlighting, etc.

I know, I know, I should be using FreeRIDE for this, but when you are
the one hacking FreeRIDE, its hard to use it to edit files :slight_smile:

Cool, thanks! I’ve been meaning to install 1.8 myself.

Agreed, it’s actually now a fairly decent Ruby editor. There are a few
bugs in the Ruby highlighting and navigation, which I’ve already
submitted to bugreport.apple.com. The navigation menu seems mostly
useless on non-trivial files, unfortunately.
