I just tried re-installing MacRuby after an upgrade to Snow Leopard and ran into this error:

/Users/peterschroder/macruby/lib/rubygems/spec_fetcher.rb:1:in `’: no such file to load — zlib (LoadError)
from /Users/peterschroder/macruby/lib/rubygems/source_index.rb:14:in `’
from /Users/peterschroder/macruby/lib/rubygems.rb:864:in `’
rake aborted!
Command failed with status (1): [./miniruby -I. -I./lib bin/rubyc --interna...]

I did not find anything on track or via google.

Any hints?!

Problem solved, I had to add “unsetenv RUBYOPT” to my .bash_login file.

@Michael Guterl
Michael, I came across the same problem. Could you provide some pointers how to fix it? It is not clear to me how to do it from your last posting. Thanks!

@alfanick
if you mean that it doesn’t evaluate attribute and method in the inspector window I experienced this too, if you notice the window is different to the previous versions of xcode (this is User Defined Runtime Attributes).
however if you try to link some outlets you will find that they are present in IB.

See the screenshot after “From the inspector pane, as show in the next picture, select MyController as the Object Class.”

Hi,
I’ve installed MacRuby using your howto, but still not working. When I write controller (eg. MainController) and make an Object in IB, set class to MainController, IB still doesn’t see MainController attributes and methods :( I’m using Xcode 3.2

@kain I came back to this tonight and I removed -rubygems from my RUBYOPT environment variable and everything seemed to work. Not sure why that would cause the failure, but that solved it.

Hi,

Cool howto! You might want to note that now and for the forseeable future ths will only work on 64bit capable machines. There are a few machines that can install 10.6 and run it just fine, but have no support for 64 bit and cannot build current macruby (as confirmed on the mailing list in Aug), although it is planned to have 32 bit support (back) in the 0.5 release.

If anyone is in doubt, this snippet may assist, run in Terminal:
sysctl hw.cpu64bit_capable

hth,
adric
