Just a little due diligence prior to installing my snow leopard
upgrade...

I'm sure some of you are running snow leopard, but I wanted to find
out if anyone had any problems upgrading or issues with your ruby
stuff. I'm sure it's fine, but I wanted to hear it from some of you if
possible.

Thanks!

I heard from Dave Brady that a bunch of GUI-related packages have issues. I can't confirm or deny it, I haven't done any GUI-related ruby.

I didn't do an upgrade, I formatted and installed from scratch. I don't think I've had any issues yet with MRI or JRuby (at least that I can remember).

Depending on how you are using Ruby and all your plugins (stock distribution with Mac OS? MacPorts? Built from scratch?) you may have to rebuild some or all of your Ruby stack and it's dependencies since the stock Ruby is now 64-bit. Until you get all this squared away you can end up with some pretty bizarre responses in Rails.

I don't remember everything I did--it must not have been too serious. :-)

The biggest hurdle was to get the mysql gem working. You might have
other issue based on 64bit libraries.

I had a little hiccup with the mysql gem and mysql itself. Nothing too tricky... Most of my problems (re: Mysql) stemmed from Macports. Now it's cleared up. Macports is the devil.

I find macports very handy.

how did it go?

Did you find a way to reinstall all the gems that had native extensions?
I think my system isn't quite right yet but I'm not sure which gems I
need to go after.

One thing that isn't likely to affect many rubyists is the @#%& iPhone
simulator. If it's running in SL, it's likely to interfere with network
activity, software installs, etc. I have to remember to find and quit it
if things start getting funky.

Hey Group,

So my upgrade went well with the exception of the mysql. I did some
googling and planned to write up my exact steps but it turned into
trial and error and I sort of lost track of all of my steps - sorry.

I appreciated the feedback.

Thanks,

Chris
