Wow! 4 replies already!! I am really impressed by the Free BSD community :). THis never happens on some of the other lists I am on. Thank you Andy, Robert, Daniel and Michael for your advise.
The thing that threw me was that I had checked the ports web site for the Ruby version BEFORE I installed FreeBSD which was just a couple of days ago. So I was wondering why I got Ruby 1.8.2 in my ports tree since I installed using the main site as my ftp source?! I have read the using ports in the hand book but certainly I need to read it more and get familiar with all the commands for using ports. Thank you again. -bakki On 5/2/06, Daniel Bye <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
You should start by reading http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html I would suggest that probably the easiest method for updating your ports tree is the Portsnap approach. Assuming you are using 6.*, it is part of your base system. Read portsnap(8) for details of how to use it. Then, when your ports tree is up to date, you will find that Ruby 1.8.4 is available.
