C++ Exception compatibility idea

[Phil Tomson]

Why not?

Maybe because the differences between the two object systems can get to be
confusing as you're trying to implement a different object system on top
of another one. Maybe the implementation language's object system would
have too much influence at a subconcious level.

I can kind of see his point.

I downloaded a precompiled bundle from a web site and dropped it into my
ruby lib according to instructions.

I downloaded it from the site mentioned here:
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/72433

I also tried building it according to a script in this email. The script
was pretty cool, but didn't work for me, so I just downloaded the bundle
and followed the instructions. It's worked great for me.

I didn't try that since the page said it was for OS X 10.2.x and I'm on
10.3.x.

I also tried building it according to a script in this email. The
script was pretty cool, but didn't work for me, so I just downloaded
the bundle and followed the instructions. It's worked great for me.

The script didn't work for me, either. I ended up sticking the
readline somewhere that the Ruby setup script could find, then
building. There was a slew of warnings but it worked and that was
enough time spent on this, for me.

Thanks,

What's in DarwinPorts do work. I haven't tried it with the +devel variant
but with 1.8.1, it does. There is an explicit dependency on readline to be
sure it will get pulled along if needs ne.

I'm on 10.3, but I just went and used it anyhow. So far so good.
