Building you Ruby on Rails environment on the Mac

I have to confess that I am still doing my Rail development on Windows (see SoftiesOnRails.com for a decent forum and posts on this. However the article Building Ruby, Rails, Subversion, Mongrel, and MySQL on Mac OS X by Dan Benjamin should spurn me to get my home iMac Rails development environment going.

You should definitely set up your ruby on rails development on your iMac. Windows is terrible.

Hey Andrew! If you still haven't set up Rails on your Mac (I know how procrastination can work, believe me!), Sakuzaku has a script to automatically download and install the software mentioned in Dan's Hivelogic tutorial. (Actually, it follows the tutorial almost verbatim.)

Good luck!
