Why not?

Maybe because the differences between the two object systems can get to be
confusing as you’re trying to implement a different object system on top
of another one.

I downloaded it from the site mentioned here:
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/72433

I didn’t try that since the page said it was for OS X 10.2.x and I’m on
10.3.x.

I also tried building it according to a script in this email. The
script was pretty cool, but didn’t work for me, so I just downloaded
the bundle and followed the instructions. It’s worked great for me.

The script didn’t work for me, either. I ended up sticking the
readline somewhere that the Ruby setup script could find, then
building. There was a slew of warnings but it worked and that was
enough time spent on this, for me.

Thanks,

Steve

I think it had something to do with the mismatch between the languages.
Confusion between Ruby objects and C++ objects (which work differently)
and all that.

Easier to describe an OO language like Ruby procedurally. But IANYM.

What’s in DarwinPorts do work. I haven’t tried it with the +devel variant
but with 1.8.1, it does. There is an explicit dependency on readline to be
sure it will get pulled along if needs ne.

I’m on 10.3, but I just went and used it anyhow. So far so good.

Heh, I stole it from someone. Forget who. Do a search.
