Installing JDeveloper 11 on OSX

Guess what, JDeveloper doesn't install out of box on a Mac... here's how to fix the JDK issue so you can at least get JDeveloper installed:

cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home
sudo mkdir -p jre/lib
cd jre/lib/
sudo ln -s ../../../Classes/classes.jar rt.jar

Ok break is over...

Given that railsconf 2010 (and rails 3) is on the horizon, decided it's time to get writing some rails stuff again =)

Of course that means updating the gems I haven't touched in ages.
sudo gem update --system
sudo gem update

oops... rmagick fails complaining about imagemagick... Since I installed it with macports, I figured it would be easy.
sudo port update imagemagick
Except that failed, complaining about gettext. Long story short, I didn't update macports when I upgraded to snow leopard. Easiest (if probably slowest) was to blow away macports.

sudo port -f uninstall installed

sudo port clean --work --archive all

sudo port install imagemagick

An hour or two later... imagemagick works!
