Quick and easy method for updating, or rather installing an updated version of Ruby on OSX Leopard (10.5) from Hivelogic. Ruby ships with OSX Leopard which is great, but the version included is outdated in regards to the recommendations of the Ruby on Rails folk.
This method seems to be the best way because it doesn’t overwrite what Apple has shipped with OSX, rather it just tells the computer to keep the older version, but use the newer version in it’s stead. Of course, this does require some command line shenanigans, but once you get started it really isn’t all that difficult. Besides, if you are concerned about using Ruby and/or Rails you should be comfortable using the command line!
