I'm new to Ruby on Rails, and I'm in the process of setting it up on my OS X system. Most guides seem to recommend using MacPorts to install Ruby and RubyGems, then using RubyGems from there on to install gems. I've noticed that MacPorts also offers many gems (though they're missing some and others seem a few releases behind), and I'm worried that it will somehow conflict with the stuff I'm installing using RubyGems.
Does anyone have any experience working with this kind of setup? Any advice? I want to get this right the first time so I don't end up having things break later on.
Thanks,
Grant
