[LRUG] Setting up Ruby + Gems + Rails on OS X

[Riccardo Tacconi]

I have found JRuby the easier to install and does not have cross platform
annoyances that Ruby C-bases has. I am using macports on my mac, but after
having ruby 1.9 I tried to install rails gem and it install ruby 1.8 again,
I think. Well macports is not really perfect. I didnot know about RVM and I
think it can be used with macports (with ruby 1.8), so we can install and
use ruby 1.9 if needed.

I am still new to Ruby so I am bit confused about the several choices.
