Updating to Ruby 1.9.2 on Snow Leopard

Rail 3 was released a few days ago.  According to the getting started guide, to develop for Rails 3, I needed to install Ruby 1.9.x onto Snow Leopard, which ships with Ruby 1.8.7.  Here are the steps that I cobbled together from google searches to replace the 1.8.7 version:

1. curl http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.2-p0.tar.bz2 -o ruby-1.9.2-p0.tar.bz2
2. tar -xvzf ruby-1.9.2-p0.tar.bz2
3. cd ruby-1.9.2-p0
4. ./configure —prefix=/usr —enable-pthread
5. make
6. make test
7. sudo make install
8. i forget what 8 was for
9. sudo gem install rails
10. sudo gem install bundler

Now you should be up on the latest Ruby and Rails.
