Thanks... Your diagnosis sounds correct. Indeed I would prefer to use
everything via mac ports.
One thing I don't understand though, maybe you can clarify.
If I use MacPorts to install FxRuby like you say:
$ sudo port install rb-fxruby
Am I installing a gem or installing fx ruby in some other place?
To keep my sanity I've tried to install with gem everything that's a
gem, and with ports everything else. That way when I uninstall I know
where to go and in theory I have one less possible path problem.
Thanks!
