I’m still getting everything back together after the iMac upgrade fiasco. JRuby, my favorite Ruby implementation, is still missing. I think I’ll fix that now.
- Grab the binary of 1.03 from the JRuby site.
cd /usr/local
sudo tar xfvz ~/jruby-bin-1.0.3.tar.gz
sudo ln -s /usr/local/jruby-1.0.3/ /usr/local/jruby
