If it's been posted a million times before, have you read all the
responses to those questions?...

You're following a 7-year-old thread guide?! Can you not find one
that's a bit more recent?

You have to install the command line tools separately these days
(there's a 'downloads' section in Xcode where you can do that), but...

That tutorial is 7 years old. The entire thing is pretty much out of
date. Your mac already has a newer version of ruby installed, pretty
much no-one uses lighttpd or fastcgi any more (at least not for
development) etc.

Hi guys

I have a macbook pro version 10.7.4.

I'm so keen to start using the ruby programming language and the ruby on rails framework, 

but I cannot download the damn thing ! It's literally driving me crazy.. 

I get up to the readline stage and it reads the following:

checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

Also I have xcode downloaded and everything else that is required :S

This is the guide i've been following:

You didn't say how you downloaded Xcode, but you'll want the version from the App Store.  Once that is installed, you'll need to launch it, go to Preferences, then the Downloads tab.  You'll see the option to install the command line tools at the bottom of the list of modules.

Although, if you start out using sqlite as the database, you probably won't need to compile anything anyway.

Appreciate all of your responses !

I can't believe I turned a blind eye to the link I posted that was 7 years old.. wow, however I was using other guides that were more recent as well.

I'll try all of your suggestions.

All the best guys.

Blake :)

Yep, I've looked through plenty of threads.. problem is they all date from a while back and the installation process varies in every post :/

thx mate.

i didn't try that, but http://railsinstaller.org/ has a one click installer.

hope it helps

Have you looked at RVM? If not, check it out. It makes installing/managing Ruby versions a synch, as well as gems.

I use these two pages to get RVM, Ruby and RoR setup and haven't had
any problems
