Hi,
I (perhaps stupidly) decided to compile and install 1.8.5 on my Mac,
thinking there might have been some improvements to Ruby. So, I did, and I
fiddled around with settings, changing the default encoding to UTF-8
instead of whatever it was before, and the secondary was Shift-JIS.
Problems...
1) If I write, for example,
puts "???"
It does that annoying Mac thing...
puts "\343\201\253\343\202\203\343\203\274"
I had this previously fixed for other Terminal things.
2) ri won't install, period. It keeps giving me weird errors that I forgot
to copy and paste here. It compiles itself and then stops, with lots of
errors.
Should I just reinstall and start over?

what does this do
LANG=C ruby -e' puts "???" '
??

I to am having trouble with ruby on my mac after a build and install from source of v 1.8.5.
Ruby is running fine (so far) however irb broke. I get the following error:
$ irb
dyld: NSLinkModule() error
dyld: Symbol not found: _rl_filename_completion_function
Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.8.0/readline.bundle
Expected in: flat namespace
Trace/BPT trap
Based on info from an online post I tried a rebuild with the configure option --with-readline-dir=/usr/local but that didn't help.
Has anyone else had this problem.

and rubycocoa,.....

Just in case anyone else is still having trouble upgrading to v1.8.5 (in my case, from 1.8.4) on Mac 10.4, here is how I resolved the following issue.
### Issue ####
~$ irb
dyld: NSLinkModule() error
dyld: Symbol not found: _rl_filename_completion_function
Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.8.0/readline.bundle

### Steps to fix the above readline issue ###
~$ sudo rm -Rf /usr/local/lib/ruby
~$ mkdir tmp
~$ cd tmp
~/tmp$ wget "ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/ruby-1.8.5.tar.gz"
~/tmp$ tar zxvf ruby-1.8.5.tar.gz
~/tmp$ cd ruby-1.8.5
~/tmp/ruby-1.8.5$ ./configure
~/tmp/ruby-1.8.5$ make
~/tmp/ruby-1.8.5$ sudo make install
~/tmp/ruby-1.8.5$ cd ext/readline
~/tmp/ruby-1.8.5/ext/readline$ make distclean
~/tmp/ruby-1.8.5/ext/readline$ ruby extconf.rb
~/tmp/ruby-1.8.5/ext/readline$ make
~/tmp/ruby-1.8.5/ext/readline$ sudo cp readline.bundle /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.8.0/readline.bundle
~/tmp/ruby-1.8.5/ext/readline$ cd ~
~$ irb

Yes, I'm not sure if blowing away the /usr/local/lib/ruby dir was the best decision, but irb works now.
I hope this helps anyone else who experiences this same problem.

some times...
in my case i need rubycocoa then afaik i need to install ruby using
darwinports.
i've allready other rubies installed on my computer, for example one
specifically dedicated to jruby i think it's 1.9.
