gem install rmagick
ERROR: Error installing rmagick:

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.
Provided configuration options:
--with-opt-dir
--without-opt-dir
--with-opt-include
--without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
--with-opt-lib

--with-make-prog
--without-make-prog
--srcdir=.
--curdir
--ruby=/opt/local/bin/ruby

After having lost the best of my youth trying to fix this issue, I can’t remember exactly how I did it, but I came up with this idea of reinstalling ruby and… guess what? It did work!
So the lesson here is … whenever you upgrade to a major release of XCode, you have to reinstall all your macports. These commands can save your day or two:
$ sudo port selfupdate
$ sudo port sync
$ sudo port upgrade --force installed

It is used to search in the content of files and is very useful for programmers like us :)

Typically, when you search in a directory recursively and you want to exclude hidden directory such as the .svn, you so this:
grep -ri "your password is" * | grep -v .
this waste time cause search in all directories including the ones you want to exclude and then remove the unwanted results.
This other method, is the correct and quickest one:
grep -r 'content_graphic' assets/js --exclude=*\.svn*
COOOL!

If you want to make this permanent when you use grep, just put it in your profile file: on a Mac open ~/.profile with a text editor. If you’re using Linux, edit ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile.

Add the following line to the top of the file:
export GREP_OPTIONS="--exclude=*\.svn*"
save and close!

Happy grepping to everybody ;)

One thing I really miss when I’m on linux is definitively TextMate! Thanks to this blogger I’ve found a great compromise with gedit that I want to share: thanks GRIGIO!!!

I was obliged to do so cause I had a great offer on a “like-new” macbook and my 1-year-old laptop with linux inside had to go to assistance ( bad Asus ).

After some time playin with fink to set up a LAMP or, better MAMP environment and rsync to move all my files on this new laptop, finally I started again with my work and one of the first things I missed on the keyboard ( mine is an italian one ) was:

` a.k.a. backtick a.k.a apice inverso ( in italian :D ) -> alt+9
~ a.k.a. tilde or twiddle or squiggle -> alt+5
# a.k.a.  hash a.k.a cancelletto -> alt+3

It is not difficult to fnd this information on google but I decided to write it here like a reminder for myself ;)

Anyway, my mac adventure is started even if I’ll never abandone linux that run in a Virtual Machine ( VMWare Fusion ) for now…
