I can't seem to find a specific answer on this... I'm trying to install FXRuby, which apparently requires Fox to be installed first, in order to run a Ruby program called IFMapper. I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.6 and installed Ruby (though it does come with the OS, so I'm not sure if that messed something up).

The easiest way to do it if you're using the built-in Ruby that comes with Leopard is to install the precompiled binary gem for OS X. I'm fairly sure that Apple also includes RubyGems with their Ruby distribution, but you can check by typing:     gem --version If you don't have RubyGems installed, go take care of that first. Once it's set up, install the FXRuby gem for OS X:     sudo gem fxruby And that should do the trick.

This may not apply exactly, but here are notes to myself from the last time I tried to install fxri (using macports). These instructions are old, so you a) could probably use Leopard's version of ruby and b) could probably use newer versions. Anyway, I hope this helps: $ sudo port install ruby $ sudo port install fox $ sudo port install fxscintilla Here are the versions I've got: $ port installed ruby fox fxscintilla The following ports are currently installed:    ruby @1.8.4\_2 (active)    fox @1.2.13\_1 (active)    fxscintilla @1.63\_0+darwin\_8 (active) $ sudo gem install fxruby -- --with-fox-include=/opt/local/include/fox-1.2 --with-fox-lib=/opt/local/lib --with-fxscintilla-include=/opt/local/include/fxscintilla --with-fxscintilla-lib=/opt/local/lib (I selected fxruby version 1.2.6 instead of 1.4.4 since I have fox 1.2 instead of 1.4 installed). Then build and install fxruby (1.2.6 - the same version as the gem) from source (yes, this is necessary): $ ruby install.rb config -- --with-fox-include=/opt/local/include/fox-1.2 --with-fox-lib=/opt/local/lib --with-fxscintilla-include=/opt/local/include/fxscintilla --with-fxscintilla-lib=/opt/local/lib $ ruby install.rb setup $ sudo ruby install.rb install $ sudo gem install fxri > **···** > > On Mar 16, 2009, at 3:37 PM, kpkilburn@gmail.com wrote: > > > I can't seem to find a specific answer on this... > > > > I'm trying to install FXRuby, which apparently requires Fox to be > > installed first, in order to run a Ruby program called IFMapper. > > > > I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.6 and installed Ruby (though it does come > > with the OS, so I'm not sure if that messed something up). > > > > When I try to install Fox using this method: > > [David Rupp's Blog: Installing Fox and FXRuby on Mac OS X Leopard (Intel)](http://davidrupp.blogspot.com/2008/01/installing-fox-and-fxruby-on-mac-os-x.html) ---

Thanks for the help. I tried that, but it didn't work. Do I need to install Fox first because FXRuby relies on it (or maybe it's just the IFMapper that needs it?). I saw it somewhere that I needed it, but can't find it now. > **···** > > On Mar 16, 9:53 pm, Lyle Johnson \ wrote: > > > On Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 3:37 PM, \ wrote: > > \> I'm trying to install FXRuby, which apparently requires Fox to be > > \> installed first, in order to run a Ruby program called IFMapper. > > > > \> I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.6 and installed Ruby (though it does come > > \> with the OS, so I'm not sure if that messed something up). > > > > The easiest way to do it if you're using the built-in Ruby that comes > > with Leopard is to install the precompiled binary gem for OS X.

Thanks for the info. I didn't realize that they had to be the same. I finally got it to work. Unfortunately, I don't know exactly how. There were several places where I got errors in libXrandr.2.0.0.dylib (because it didn't exist) and libGL.dylib (re-exports because it existed in two places). Once I found the info on how to pass the right parameters to it, it worked. It was a little trial and error, so hopefully I can reproduce the results. Another unfortunate mistake was that I didn't compile FXRuby with the PNG library. Why would I need that? IFMapper is the only thing I'll be using it for. Well, it seems that IFMapper uses PNG icons in it. Oh well.
