This article is a major update to the older (but tried-and-true) post, Building Ruby, Rails, LightTPD, and MySQL on Tiger. Both Ruby, Rails, and their underlying infrastructure have come a long way in recent months, and this article will get you to a leaner, meaner Rails install in less time using fewer steps.

This is the hard and old way of building applications on OS X.
Using Macports http://www.macports.org/ or Fink http://fink.sourceforge.net/ is the better way

MacPorts is by far the superior way, but this serves as a great reference on how to do it from scratch, and have the high level of control by building it from source.
Doesnt warrant a complaint. Now comeon...

there are very few people in the world that have both a good reason and time - not to use something like rpms, ports, or something that helps you maintain programs on a nix system
If I was starting on rails, I wouldn't want to spent a few hours trying to build something as opposed to just getting up and running quick
If the audience was aspiring sys admins - fine, but if it's developers; their time can be better spent elsewhere

Teach a man to quicksort and you won't go crazy trying to maintain his code.
Oh wait.... quicksort...
