Using ~/.profile is fine AFAIK. It's what I've always used on Mac OS X and haven't run into any problems with it yet. I suppose ~/.bash_profile is a bit more specific when using bash as your default shell. I'm not sure what other implications there may be to using the more generic ~/.profile, but as I said I've not run into any issues using it. > I have a Macbook with Snow Leopard and Macports. This is just and FYI in case you haven't yet heard of it, but I much prefer Homebrew over Macports. I tried Macports a year or two ago and was constantly frustrated by its invasive nature. Homebrew feels much less intrusive to me. Maybe some people don't mind a package manager that wants to take over your machine, but I'm not one of them. http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
