Subject: [ruby-81] Setting up Mac for development...

For some reason, I am having LOTS of trouble setting up my MacBook (Snow Leopard; 10.6.2) to do development.

I go to install heroku (sudo gem install heroku) and I get:

=====

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...

ERROR:  Error installing heroku:

ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/opt/local/bin/ruby extconf.rb

checking for ruby/st.h... no

checking for st.h... no

checking for ruby/encoding.h... no

creating Makefile

make

sh: make: command not found

Gem files will remain installed in /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/json-1.2.0 for inspection.

Results logged to /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/json-1.2.0/ext/json/ext/generator/gem_make.out

=====

so that means I don't have make installed...right? (But I've done this before...)

So I go to Mac Ports (port list) and it blows up in my face:

=====

dlopen(/Library/Tcl/macports1.0/MacPorts.dylib, 10): no suitable image found.  Did find:

/Library/Tcl/macports1.0/MacPorts.dylib: no matching architecture in universal wrapper

    while executing

"load /Library/Tcl/macports1.0/MacPorts.dylib"

    ("package ifneeded macports 1.0" script)

    invoked from within

"package require macports"

    (file "/opt/local/bin/port" line 39)

=====

I've used Mac Ports before on this machine and it worked OK.

I recall hearing somewhere that upgrading to Snow Leopard might cause some problems for development (?!)

I could use a few pointers for how to setup my Mac: I've got a Windows machine and a Kubuntu machine both setup for development, but I want this laptop to work for portability -- I can't believe that the Mac OS seems to cause more challenges than other OS's.

Thanks...jon
