You know MacPorts is a source based package system? To be frank, I don't understand the desire to install from source, it's just more stuff you have to track for keeping up to date and secure. There are a lot of keen Rubyists helping maintain MacPorts versions, so you get a very recent build, but with patches so that it actually works better than the vanilla upstream installs. You might also want to have a look at MacRuby, http://www.macruby.org/ which has some excellent performance characteristics for a 1.9 install. > > by "removing software," i meant removing just the 1.9.x specific gems > which were the defaults and sticking with either the 1.8 gems or > nigel's packaged versions. i'm guessing that will all work. > > thanks for the pointers. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-us...@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > puppet-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. > > -- nigel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
