I was playing around with RoR with Agile Rails by D.H. Hansson etc... Was having problems upgrading my Ruby on my Mac through the command line. I have played around and tinkered but to no avail. I simple havent been able to get it installed.
I assume you're on leopard? something like this tutorial should set you up - http://danbenjamin.com/articles/2008/02/ruby-rails-leopard
make sure you install the apple developer tools before doing stuff though. They're on the OS X disk and also on the apple developer connection website.
