Installing Ruby 1.8.7 on Mountain Lion with rbenv

Trying to build ruby-1.8.7 with rbenv on Mountain Lion and getting something similar to:

tcltklib.c:9862: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘event’

You need to install XQuartz first and then use the following CPPFLAGS evn-var. (Also won't hurt to throw proper readline support in there while we are at it (brew install readline first):

CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/X11/include/ RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-readline-dir=`brew --prefix readline` rbenv install 1.8.7-p374

Hope that helps you. If anything is a future reference point to myself :P

What's in my bag?

So lets see here. Johannes Kleske wrote on imgriff.com about sharing what's in your bag on a daily basis on his post . And called for other bloggers to share. I'll follow this one up right here. So what do I take with me every day? my MacBook including a Crumpler Gimp power brick and MDVI to VGA adapter for my MacBook Apple Remote for presentations old headphones from my 3G iPod some pens and a pencil & eraser my business cards a Moleskine for on the go notes my trusty point and shoot HP R717 Cables(cross-over Ethernet, power extention, USB cable for cam, audio jack with adapter a small 256MB USB stick for quick transfers ear plugs in case it gets really noisy where I am a spare pair of contact lenses and some eye drops some chap stick, tic tacs and winter green chewing gum, and some paper handkerchiefs a small "survival kit" with a lighter a knife and a flash light and a glow stick. (Although I have to leave the lighter and the knife at home when I go by plan...

It is time for a new post.

What's happened? Well, I still don't have my new PC. But, I have ordered the new components, though. It will be a P4 530, with a GigaByte 8I915P-Duo Pro-A motherboard. I haven't made my final decision about what graphic card it will be. I'm tending to a GeForce6600 GT. Probably the GV-NX66T128D, also form GigaByte. What have I been doing the past month? Well I used a great part of my time studying hardware guides and forums, to make a well informed decision about my new PC. The other part of my time, well, college lectures started again. So I've been investing time in that as well. The bit of spare time left I used for online playing. Hmm?? Online playing, I thought your PC was broke! You might say. Well that's where my girlfriend comes in. She let me borrow her PC very often. That way it won't be like starting online play all over again. :)

How I want to start a Day my Way.

Well to keep this short. I started my day with getting up early. And for me that's 5:45 am. I got into some clothes and made some space in the living room for some exercise. I usually practice HapKiDo as I did today. First some basic techniques and them some sword swings and combos. After about 25 min and getting sweaty I hit the shower, got dressed, turned on some of my favorite music, and made breakfast. Not much just a small portion of Muesli to get my metabolism started up. So how does it feel? Well I know what most of you are thinking right now. "Oh, gosh, I could never get up that early, not mentioning doing exercise!" Well I was like that a few weeks ago as well. It takes some uptake on self discipline, which is doable. There are a few things that helped me do this. A few blogs I read about productivity and life-hacking(why no links? Google your own I don't want to influence you on that). And Joe's Goals . I lets you track little achievements and mishaps i...
