Update latest Ruby Version 1.9 on Mac OSX

Dear All,

How can I Update latest Ruby Version 1.9 ?

I still use Ruby v1.8.6 version on Mac OSX 10.5.6

best regards,

Salai.

Install it separately instead of upgrading.

Download the source and ./configure --program-suffix=19

Then you have ruby19, irb19, etc at your disposal.

I would use RVM (ruby version manager)

gem install rvm
then
rvm-install
and follow the instruktions, you can install multiple ruby
implementations and switch between them on the fly

The release version of Ruby 1.9 automatically configures itself to use ruby19.

Ports is stuck at 1.9.1-preview1.

I would advice at not messing with the preinstalled version[1], as there is a lot
of software depending on it.

Regards,
Florian

[1]: which is not hard, because it's outside of the scope where normal *nix Software messes around.

Hi! I installed ruby19 with macports (1.8.0) on Leopard, but still can't
use ruby 1.9.

Try a port sync, that might help :stuck_out_tongue:

Add /opt/local/bin to the front of your PATH, that's where MacPorts stores
its binaries.

I'm not sure because I installed Ruby 1.9 from source, but others have
said that macports installs ruby 1.1 with the suffix 19, so as not to
conflict with the base install.

If so ruby19 should get you there.

The hot ticket these days for managing multiple versions of Ruby on OS
X and Linux is the rvm gem

http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/

I haven't tried yet, but probably will look at it myself after I
finish migrating to Snow Leopard.

I had /usr/local/bin in /etc/profile and it was being ignored after
upgrade to SL.

I've not investigated why, but by trial and error I discovered that
/etc/paths no honors order (if I am not mistaked it didn't, or the
system ignored extra entries... don't remember the exact gotcha but
there was one).

So my /etc/profile, /etc/bashrc and /etc/paths.d are system defaults
now, and just edited /etc/paths to put /usr/local/bin at the top.

Another little question then: how do I know which ruby version is used
by my current rails?

Note that for MacPorts it's /opt/local/bin, not /usr/local/bin.
Also, in OS X the preferred way of setting environment variables is via
.MacOS/environment.plist:

Hope this helps,
