Summary: Fresh: Ruby One-Click Installer for Mac OSX
Project: Ruby One-Click Installer for OSX
This package is the most simple way to equip your Macintosh Apple OSX System with Ruby - similar to the Windows Ruby One-Click Installer. It replaces the broken Readline library, updates to a current version of SQLite3 and prepares your OSX for Rails, which needs at least Ruby 1.8.4 to run. The current Ruby Version is 1.8.6 (1.8.5 is recommended for Rails) and Rubygems 0.9.4.
This package's intention is to remain small while being a Universal Binary that serves everything to deploy Ruby Applications on OSX Machines - Cheetah, Puma, Jaguar, Panther, Tiger or Leopard. You don't need to compile anything and you don't need Apple's Developer Tools (xcode) installed. |

for uninstalling: this is a mac osx installer package, which has a package receipt (a list of all the files installed) - you can simply delete the files that were put into /usr/local or use that receipt to uninstall the ruby one-click installer. furthermore you can point your system back to the ruby that came with apple by removing the line in your ~/.bash_profile that says "PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH". for the whereis-"problem": you might want to use "which ruby" instead.

Hmmm...
I just noticed this, too:
$ /usr/local/bin/ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [universal-darwin8.0]
$ /usr/bin/ruby -v
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [powerpc-darwin8.0]

I ran the installer. Now when I do a version check it says 1.8.6, but when I do a whereis, it tells me it's still at /usr/bin/ruby
The site for the one-click says it's in /usr/local. Indeed, the files seem to be there, but this totally confuses me. Should I point my scripts to /usr/local/bin/ruby or /usr/bin/ruby?
The page also says, "you can easily uninstall this package or switch to Apple's Ruby again." I have no idea how to do either of these things, and I can't find any information on how to do it. I don't particularly want to at this time, but knowing how would be a good thing.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
