Update: There seems to be some ambiguity on my part. I’ll update this article as soon as I get a better understanding of what’s breaking.
Hi. I’m having some problems in Leopard with my MacPorts’ built version of ruby.
Here’s what I’m seeing:
$ echo $PATH
/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:
/sbin:/Users/pixelcort:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
$ file /opt/local/bin/ruby
/opt/local/bin/ruby: Mach-O executable i386
$ whereis ruby
/usr/bin/ruby
Tab:~ pixelcort$ whereis rails
/usr/bin/rails
Tab:~ pixelcort$ file /opt/local/bin/rails
/opt/local/bin/rails: a /opt/local/bin/ruby script text executable
Basically from my understanding RubyGems in Leopard is broken, so I’m trying to use the RubyGems from MacPorts. However, for the life of me I can’t seem to figure out why whereis is pointing to the Leopard copy of ruby when I clearly want the MacPorts one as specified in my $PATH variable.
Any thoughts?
