Hello Marnen, On the contrary, I find hivelogic's logic (:P) quite sound.
I understand that the possibility of software updates breaking the environment is kinda remote, but learning to build from source and knowing exactly where your software is helps a lot. Whats the point in developing in RoR but having little knowledge of where your components are installed on your machine or how to update them? I help maintain a couple other Macs where we followed hivelogic's article the very day the Macs were opened from their boxes, and they have no issues whatsoever in maintenance. In contrast, my setup has been giving trouble regularly. Still remains to be seen though, whether having hivelogic's setup on top now on my machine will work consistently :). Besides, gem install mysql simply dint work in my older setup. Spent couple of weeks on it. On Jul 7, 1:28 am, Marnen Laibow-Koser <li...@ruby-forum.com> wrote: > Ram wrote: > > Okay ...
