RadRails - Unable to detect ruby install on OS X Leopard
I installed the RadRails plugin for Eclipse and Aptana today.
On first start, it complains that it is “Unable to detect ruby install” on my Leopard macbook.
Now, I know ruby is installed and working so had to try and figure out the path to the ruby installation.
Took me a while to work it out, I thought it would be under /usr/.. but it’s actually here:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr
After adding a new RubyVM with this path everything was good again.
Incidentally, although Aptana is available on it’s own as an IDE (built with the Eclipse framework), I decided to use it as a plugin for a native Eclipse IDE. That way I just have one IDE for Java, C++ as well as RoR. Made sense to me.
I’ve only had a quick play with it but it already beats the bejesus out of my Notepad and command line setup on XP.

Hey, thanks for the bug report on this. I’ve entered a ticket in our bug tracking system to hopefully fix this for Leopard users: http://support.aptana.com/issues/browse/ROR-179
If you have other questions or issues, please feel free to file your own tickets, or join our forums: http://www.aptana.com/forums
No problems, I was actually going to have a look this evening to add a bug report in (or see if it had been reported already).
Hi, this article really helped me! Thank you.
Please let me translate this info into Japanese on my blog. Here’s a short introduction and translation, and screen shots.
Sure thing!
