==== When you are to build a ruby related port for Ruby 1.7, please define RUBY_VER=1.7 in the make command line, or put it in your /etc/make.conf. If you want to always use Ruby 1.7 instead of 1.6, set RUBY_DEFAULT_VER=1.7. Note that some stuff that comes with the standard Ruby distribution is provided as separate ports: converters/ruby-iconv iconv module databases/ruby-gdbm: GDBM module lang/ruby-tcltklib: Tcl/Tk libraries japanese/ruby-tcltklib: Tcl/Tk libraries for Japanized Tcl/Tk x11-toolkits/ruby-tk: Tk modules japanese/ruby-tk: Tk modules for Japanized Tcl/Tk lang/ruby-mode.el: Emacs lisp modules Please install them as occasion demands. (Don't forget to define RUBY_VER=1.7 when you build them) ====
