I am stuck with the setup of Ruby (1.9.3), Rails and Postgres (9.0.8) on my Mac (10.6.8). Everytime when I run rails console I get the following error: /Users/dc/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-head@global/gems/pg-0.13.2/lib/pg.rb:4:in `require': dlopen(/Users/dc/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-head@global/gems/pg-0.13.2/lib/pg_ext.bundle, 9): Library not loaded: @loader_path/../lib/libssl.dylib (LoadError) Referenced from: /usr/lib/libpq.5.dylib Reason: Incompatible library version: libpq.5.dylib requires version 1.0.0 or later, but libssl.0.9.8.dylib provides version 0.9.8 - /Users/dc/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-head

The default MacPorts installation downloads each dependency, builds and installs it, then downloads, builds and installs the next dependency, and so on. This means that a constant network connection is required throughout the installation. In my configuration, a constant network connection is not feasible. This means that installation of a large-dependency package can take a very long time. How do I download all dependencies for a specified MacPorts package at the beginning (while connected to the network) and then build and install each dependency (no network connection required)? While

What are some good suggested resources for learning about blocks and GCD in Mac OS X and iOS I would start with Apple's Blocks Programming Topics document or with Programming with Blocks on Apple Devices . As gs mentioned, also check out Mike Ash's articles (and also subscribe to his RSS feed, as I'm sure more blocks-related posts will come up): Friday Q&A 2008-12-26 Friday Q&A 2009-08-14: Practical Blocks Friday Q&A 2009-08-28: Intro to Grand Central Dispatch Part 1 There is a great introduction at bbum's weblog: Basic Blocks Mike Ash has written two articles about blocks in his blog: Friday

Is it possible to change the location of php.ini to be used by Apache? When I did php -i | grep 'Configuration File' , the result is: Path => /usr/local/etc Loaded Configuration File => /usr/local/etc/php.ini But the result of phpinfo() is Configuration File (php.ini) Path : /etc I can copy over php.ini from /usr/local/etc/ to /etc/ , but is it possible to change the php.ini folder? I installed PHP using homebrew and I am using OS X Snow Leopard. PHP uses different .ini files when running via command line vs running as a web server module. When you grep the results of php -i your getting the

I used to use SVN 1.4 on OS X Leopard and everything was fine. A couple of weeks ago I installed a fresh copy of OS X 10.6. The version of SVN that comes with Snow Leopard is 1.6.5. I went ahead and built my own copy with 1.6.6. I'm using the built in apache server and just hosting repositories locally. Everything appeared to work fine until I actually tried to commit something. Everytime I try to commit a change, I get the following message: Transmitting file data .svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: MERGE of '/svn/svn2': 409 Conflict (http://localhost) This happens with my old

I am currently looking into solving the problem with the inability to quickly create new files in the Finder. I will open source what I write because I think the Mac community needs this solved. On Windows, you can right-click, create new text file. OS X, you should be able to do this with a service which would work like this: Right-Click > Services > Create New Text File Writing a Finder Service in Snow Leopard is theoretically the way to accomplish this, although I haven't been able to find any sample code. (I'll admit I've only looked at the documentation very briefly). I'm not sure how to
