-* What's Ruby
-
-Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and
-easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to
-process text files and to do system management tasks (as in
-perl). It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible.
-
-* Features of Ruby
-
- + Simple Syntax
- + *Normal* Object-Oriented features(ex. class, method calls)
- + *Advanced* Object-Oriented features(ex. Mix-in, Singleton-method)
- + Operator Overloading
- + Exception Handling
- + Iterators and Closures
- + Garbage Collection
- + Dynamic Loading of Object files(on some architecture)
- + Highly Portable(works on many UNIX machines)
-
-* How to get Ruby
-
-The Ruby distribution can be found on
-
- ftp://ftp.netlab.co.jp/pub/lang/ruby/
-
-* How to compile and install
-
-This is what you need to do to compile and install Ruby:
-
- 1. Run ./configure, which will generate config.h and Makefile.
-
- 2. Edit defines.h if you need. Probably this step will not need.
-
- 3. Remove comment mark(#) before the module names from ext/Setup, if
- you want to link modules statically.
-
- If you want to link all the extension modules, remove comment
- mark from the line "#option nodynamic".
-
- 4. Run make.
-
- 5. Optionally, run 'make test' to check that the compiled Ruby
- interpreter works well. If you see the message "test succeeded",
- your Ruby works as it should (hopefully).
-
- 6. Run 'make install'
-
-If you fail to compile Ruby, please send the detailed error report with
-the error log and machine/OS type, to help others.
