Just a note to myself for getting my other machines Rails environments up and running properly. Basically a collection of info from the Rails Weblog Angry Fly and NullStyle
Thanks guys!
Rails 1.2.3 comes pre-installed on Leopard. To get the rest of the environment up:
Update gems
sudo gem update
Install MySQL package
From the usual place
Install the Ruby MySQL bindings
sudo env RC_ARCHS=i386 gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
Update: If you’re on PowerPC, instead of the above, use one of the following commands (depending if you’re 32 or 64bi). Thanks to Henry for the tip in the comments!
sudo env RC_ARCHS=ppc gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config sudo env RC_ARCHS=ppc64 gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
Fix MySQL for Leopard
cd /usr/local/mysql/lib sudo mkdir mysql cd mysql sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/lib* .Start MySQL with: (the sys prefs box doesn’t work yet)
sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqldNow make a link to the MySQL socket
sudo mkdir /var/mysql/ sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock
Install MacPorts
From here
Install ImageMagick + RMagick
sudo port install tiff -macosx sudo port install ImageMagick sudo gem install rmagick
I think that hits the main things that tripped me up. I’ll update if anything else crops up.
