Compiling Ruby on OS X Tiger?

[Lon Baker]

Sorry if this is off topic for this list. But has anyone had luck
compiling Ruby 1.8.1 or any of the night builds on Mac OS X 10.4
"Tiger"?

The version included with Tiger appears to be broken in that it is
missing the zlib extension I believe.

If you still did not succeed in building it have a look at the fink info
files or DarwinPorts makefiles.

They are for 10.3 (not sure about the darwinports) but there should not be much difference.

Also I would appreciate if somebody tested the info files on tiger since
I do not have it

some not too outdated info files can be found here (use just the
buildscript/installscript part)

Well be sure and file a bug report before it is released.
