error during make (mac os x)

[William Kyngesburye]

It *should* be as simple as dropping these files into the mapserver  
source folder (no need to have it built) and following the  
instructions for building the Ruby mapscript.  I see two possible  
problems:

- You would also have to install Postgres.  Or edit the mapscriptvars  
file.

- Since you're new to all this, did you get SWIG installed somehow?   
The Ruby mapscript readme says you need that.


Otherwise rebuilding MapServer from scratch + Graphics Libs and GIS  
Libs works well enough also.
