For some reason installing Ruby on Rails on Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4) is difficult. I have installed it on about 5 different systems and every time run into trouble. I had been putting off installing Rails on the laptop because it was working on the iMac and I could just use it there when I needed to, but tonight I sat down on got it installed easily.
For anyone really interested in easily installing Rails, here’s what you do: 1. first manually fix ruby 2. Install RubyGems 3. sudo gem install rails 4. Follow these instructions to get mysql 4.1 working…
That’s it. It takes all of 5 minutes to do when you know what to do!
