Notes on getting Ruby on Rails working on my Powerbook 15

Used darwin ports to install ruby and rb-rubygems

I’m using z-shell so I needed to edit the

'~/Library/init/zsh/environment'

file to make sure that

'/opt/local/bin'

was the first folder on my path. Then I simply did a

gem install rake
gem install rails

This sounds simple but it only took 5 hours of digging to get right!

Come on Apple. If you are going to include Ruby then make sure you install it correctly.
