Advice sought on Installing Ruby 1.9 on OSX

R

Rick DeNatale

I gave in and got a macbook about a month ago, and I'm getting around
to doing an install of Ruby 1.9.

I've already got the macports version of Ruby 1.8 installed. That got
put under /opt/local

Before I do make/make install, I'm wondering what the best configure
options are to keep things separated. Is
./configure --program-suffix=1.9
enough (configure defaults /usr/local for installation).

Or is there something else I need to consider?
