Building Ruby, Rails, LightTPD, and MySQL on Tiger

I followed these instructions for setting up these apps on Tiger and am all set. A few of the software packages had small revisions/updates, so I installed those. Now I think I'm set.

P.S. Not all set. This readline issue has popped up and I have ben unable to eliminate it so far. I've posted here in the hopes of getting some assistance. Help?

  1. Someone told me to run make test-all. I did. I got these results:

  2. Use DarwinPorts / MacPorts and all of it gets installed pretty much right.

  3. Willie, as I said in the support request linked above, I'm not installing fink or DarwinPorts just to get this working.

  4. I finally found an answer!

    Someone asked someone else if ruby -rreadline -e '1' gave an error. It did to me, so they said to go into ext/readline in the ruby source directory and type ruby extconf.rb and then the make / sudo make install routine.

    It worked!

  5. I just had read your post - not the linked postings.

  6. While I absolutely sympathise with not installing fink, I'd be curious to know your reasons for avoiding DarwinPorts. I'll give you the reasons that I like it.The DarwinPorts base install is tiny, it just installs a tree of Portfilles -- instructions for fetching, patching, building & installingIt stays isolated from the rest of the filesystem in /opt/local/, so uninstalling all of DarwinPorts is rm -rf /opt/localRunning port install basically automates the process of fetching the tarball, applying any required patches, configuring, building and installingsudo port install rb-rails will give you everything you need to get up and running on railsAnd if you wait a few days my patches will be in to bring the DarwinPort of rails to 1.1.6 (and the underlying ports to their latest version) 😉

  7. Chris, your last comment gets at my biggest annoyance: having to wait for updated software. Plus, I simply don't want an /opt directory.

  8. Erik, I totally agree. Chris' comments are helpful and make sense for some, but, Darwinports definitely irks some people like me. For example, I installed Lighttpd and Rails with mysql bindings through darwin ports, and it insisted on installing mysql5 through ports. Now I have all kinds of issues with mysql sockets not being found, and multiple mysql server installations. /usr/local/* is where I want stuff, not /opt (why 'opt' anyway?).
