Welcome list, I am new to this and to ruby 馃檪 I want to start ruby and use it instead of php where it is possible to write small and medium sized web applications using sql and xml. i tried that in php but was not happy with the object orientation. I hope that ruby will force me into more oop-like coding style and enable more possibilities - I once did java for a short period Can one hand me over some tutorial/documentation links how to set up ruby/eruby and configure apache on Mac OS X? apache is already running: [http://ionas.homeunix.org/](http://ionas.homeunix.org/) I was following the following information: [http://modruby.net/en/index.rbx/mod\_ruby/install.html#label-0](http://modruby.net/en/index.rbx/mod_ruby/install.html#label-0) ionas:~/Desktop/eruby-1.0.5 ionas$ ./configure.rb --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --enable-shared checking whether we are using gcc... yes checking Ruby version... 1.6.8 checking for default charset... iso-8859-1 checking whether enable shared... yes creating config.h creating Makefile ionas:~/Desktop/eruby-1.0.5 ionas$ make gcc -g -Os -pipe -no-cpp-precomp -fno-common -DHAVE\_INTTYPES\_H -pipe -pipe -Wall -I. -I/usr/lib/ruby/1.6/powerpc-darwin7.0 -c eruby\_lib.c ar rcu liberuby.a eruby\_lib.o cc -g -Os -pipe -no-cpp-precomp -fno-common -DHAVE\_INTTYPES\_H -pipe -pipe -Wall -I. -I/usr/lib/ruby/1.6/powerpc-darwin7.0 -dynamic -bundle -undefined suppress -flat\_namespace -L/usr/lib eruby\_lib.o \           -ldl -lobjc -o liberuby.bundle.1.0.5 gcc -L/usr/lib eruby\_logo.o eruby\_main.o -L. -leruby /usr/lib/ruby/1.6/powerpc-darwin7.0/libruby.a -ldl -lobjc -o eruby gcc: /usr/lib/ruby/1.6/powerpc-darwin7.0/libruby.a: No such file or directory make: \*\*\* [eruby] Error 1 ionas:~/Desktop/eruby-1.0.5 ionas$ There simply is no libruby.a - how do I get that libary now? how can I compile it from where? ionas:/usr/lib/ruby/1.6/powerpc-darwin7.0 ionas$ ls -ha . dln.h node.h rubyio.h util.h .. env.h pty.bundle rubysig.h version.h config.h etc.bundle rbconfig.rb sdbm.bundle defines.h fcntl.bundle re.h socket.bundle digest intern.h regex.h st.h digest.bundle nkf.bundle ruby.h tkutil.bundle > **路路路** > > -- > Best regards > Jonas Hartmann > eMail : [Mail@Jonas-Hartmann.com](mailto:Mail@Jonas-Hartmann.com) > mobile : +49 160 99 2 44 679 > phone : +49 6151 2 79 45 97 ---

It is probably easier to install and configure DarwinPorts \<[http://www.opendarwin.org/>](http://www.opendarwin.org/>); and use all the ruby modules from there. That way you'll get Ruby 1.8 (system one is 1.6.8) and lots of modules. > **路路路** > > On Mon, 12 Jul 2004 08:30:34 +0900, Jonas Hartmann wrote: > > > Can one hand me over some tutorial/documentation links how to set up > > ruby/eruby and configure apache on Mac OS X? apache is already running: > > [http://ionas.homeunix.org/](http://ionas.homeunix.org/) ---

system one is 1.6.8? The one Mac OS X ships, yes.

eRuby is similair to PHP where the code is actually embedded in the HTML.
