Trouble building native extension on Mac OS/X - Ruby 1.9.1

[Ed Howland]

Hi, I successfully installed the johnson gem on Ubuntu with Ruby
1.8.6, but on the Mac with ruby 1.9.1, I get compile errors.

sudo gem install johnson.

Just the tail of the failure

Right now, johnson is dependent on "node.h" which has been removed in
1.9. We're working on a fix, but for now, johnson will not work on
1.9.

Thanks for the input.

I'll have to see about running 1.8 sidexside w/1.9 on my mac, or I'll
stick to a VM running Ubuntu approach.

I want to try the taka+johnson approach to to test jquery. It looks
like a winner to me.
