hi all, transami here. not that anyone has probably given it much thought, but
yes, i am alive 
getting back to coding a bit after a few months of much
needed sabatical…
so i have a question. i’m looking at hosting a wiki on an mac xserve and i
started doing some development work on a ruby based wiki. what’s the status
of eruby on mac os x? last i heard she’s still barfing due to a dynamic
linking issues.
thanks,
glad to be back,
transami
To make eruby, libruby is necessary. However, Mac OS X 10.2
(Jaguar) does not include libruby somehow. So you need to build
libruby with ruby source in order to make eruby. I don’t use
eruby, so I have not tried this. But maybe I think so.
If this is too hard, you can use Erb written only with Ruby. Erb
is useful.
Regards,

Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) does include libruby and it is OK, as mod_ruby uses
it and works perfectly well. The problem with eruby lays in how dynamic
linking is performed in OS X. When eruby.so is dlopened by Apache Ruby
symbols (rb_*) are not found despite the fact that they are already present
in the process (loaded by mod_ruby, actually libruby.a is compiled into
mod_ruby during build). I think that to fix it libruby must be made shared
and both mod_ruby and eruby compilation changed to refer it. Than on load a
linker will be able to locate symbols for both. I haven’t given it a try
yet, maybe sometime next week.

Really? Please tell me which package in Jaguar include libruby. I
could not find “libruby(.a|.dylib)” in packages which are
contained in Jaguar and some updates.
Therefor, RubyCocoa 0.3 binary package which I distribute include
“libruby.a”. Maybe a ruby package of FINK include libruby. I
don’t know detail about FINK because I do not install it.
thanks,

I have made a ruby port for darwinports (www.opendarwin.org) that
solves the link issues.
You can get the port description from:
http://stuff.sateh.com/dports/ruby.tgz
It basically comes down to these patches:
