A Note To Dan Benjamin
February 17, 2007
If we ever meet, I will buy you a beer, or wine, or whatever you want.
You are forever in my gratitude for how much time you save me thanks to this and this.
For the uninformed: If you need to install Ruby/Rails/Mongrel/RMagick/etc. on Mac OS X, and you don’t want to have to figure it out yourself, or think, then follow the above links.

I set my dev environment up on my MacBook Pro using Darwin Ports (aka MacPorts). I like how it makes me feel like I can uninstall and upgrade Ruby and all the required dependencies with a few port commands.
Locomotive is another good alternative but I prefer to have more control :P
On Ubuntu apt-get is great, and if I ever need to install something from source which isn’t in the main Ubuntu repositories, I just compile from source and then run checkinstall to have it all packaged up into an uninstallable .deb (see http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/3410).
Very glad it was useful to you!
