I'm a novice in these lands, hence the possibly rudimentary inquiry...
I'm a designer/AS3 developer and am hoping to delve into Ruby on Rails
on the suggestion of a friend. Have been trying to get it installed
and am running into an error that perplexes me.
I've been able to get ruby and rubygems installed on OSX 10.5.7
following the directions on Dan Benjamin,
but in trying to install rails ran into:
FW-W874815VXA9-3:src gensler$ cd rubygems-0.9.2
FW-W874815VXA9-3:rubygems-0.9.2 gensler$ sudo /usr/local/bin/ruby
setup.rb
sudo: /usr/local/bin/ruby: command not found
One thing, Ruby is not in /usr/local/bin but in /usr/bin. If your scripts require ruby to be in /usr/local/bin you can do this
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ruby /usr/local/bin/ruby
And be done with it.
What I have done is to install XAMPP on my Mac, and remember to install the Dev tools also (there are 2 download links).
then install passenger (sudo gem install passenger)
Add the config passenger tells youti paste in, to /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/httpd.conf
And now your done (pretty much).

One thing, Ruby is not in /usr/local/bin but in /usr/bin.
The stock ruby is, but not the version installed via the hivelogic
instructions (at least not if everything has gone to plan)
/usr/local/bin/ruby: command not found
is not a problem with your path: you provided an absolute path so
sounds like the file is genuinely not there. Were there any other
earlier errors that you just skipped over
Also there is an updated version of those instructions at
Dan Benjamin (but it might not be
very different)
