Message: [QUOTE="anne001, post: 4501600"] thank you so much for your response. I did indeed find ruby.h in anne-g:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/universal-darwin8.0 HOW DO I FIND A LINK TO IT? and I found mkmf.rb in the usr/lib/ruby/1.8 directory. I tried to debug mkmf.rb with puts. I found that it was looking for ruby.h in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.0 I jerryrigged it (using sudo to change the file) to look for ruby.h in the right directory. libdir = "/usr/lib/ruby/1.8" $extmk = libdir != Config::CONFIG["rubylibdir"] if not $extmk and File.exist? "/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/universal-darwin8.0/ruby.h" $hdrdir = $topdir ="/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/universal-darwin8.0" elsif File.exist? $srcdir + "/ruby.h" $topdir = Config::CONFIG["compile_dir"] $hdrdir = $srcdir else abort "can't find header files for ruby." end this took care of the header file error. checking for XAllowDeviceEvents() in -lXi... no checking for XMITMiscGetBugMode() in -lXext... no checking for XmuAddCloseDisplayHook() in -lXmu... no checking for XOpenDisplay() in -lX11... no checking for main() in -lGL... no checking for main() in -lMesaGL... no can't create OpenGL module! I have to figure out if this is also a path problem or if there are files missing. [URL]http://www.opengl.org/documentation/implementations.html[/URL] According to this site, openGL does come with tiger. [URL]http://developer.apple.com/graphicsimaging/download/index.html[/URL] Mac OS X v10.2 OpenGL CFM Software Development Kit (DMG) is from 2003. Do I need that? I wish mkmf.rb did not have this bug in the path, so I did not have to worry about what it does! IS THERE A FIX TO MKMF.RB so it won't have this path problem on the 1.8.2 that comes pre-installed on Ruby? If so, where do I find it? thank you for helping me along anne [/QUOTE]
