Ruby OCI - for Mac OS X 3
You’re probably familiar with the one-click installer for Windows. It will install the latest Ruby interpreter, the latest RubyGems, and a few other Ruby-related libraries onto any Windows machine.
For Mac OS X, many of us have used Dan’s article with great success to build a Ruby and/or Rails environment from scratch. (And TopFunky wrapped it up to make it even easier).
Now, there is also a one-click installer for Mac OS X. The main difference between this installer and the one for Windows is that the Mac version also includes a database engine (SQLite) and Mongrel so you can skip webrick right from the get go. (But remember, just like the Windows installer, the OCI will only install Ruby, not Rails.)
If anyone has tried it, or has any other suggestions for the best way to get a Ruby environment up and running on either Mac or Windows or Linux, drop us a comment.

It remains a mystery why the Antinomies can never, as a whole, furnish a true and demonstrated science, because, like our understanding, they stand in need to ampliative principles; still, our concepts, for example, abstract from all content of knowledge.
We see in advance that the transcendental-phenomenological reduction stands in contrast to the accidental being “for me” of a transcendental grounding of the ego cogito.
