I have not looked into this, but one of my friends says the basic problem is that RUBY_DEFAULT_VER has changed, and thus the ruby 1.6 port only installs /usr/local/bin/ruby16, and does not also install /usr/local/bin/ruby One quick fix for this would be to make a symlink from the missing file to the installed file. I'm sure it isn't the most perfect fix, but it's the quickest! :-) -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
