compiling Ruby on Rails on OS X

Hi all,

i got rid of locomotive as advised in another post...

i've just downloaded the compiler version, and have tried to run ./configure

however i get this back in terminal:

./configure checking build system type... powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0 checking host system type... powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0 checking target system type... powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0 checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no checking for cl.exe... no configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH See `config.log' for more details.

Any ideas on how i go ahead??

Cheers

Westy

Install the developer tools. And you’re best off downloading the latest one for your OS version from the Apple Developer Connection site (basic membership is free, just register and you’ll be able to download it), as the version that ships on your PPC MacOS cd will give compile errors with universal binary source code.
