Building Vim with Ruby on Leopard
I have had problems compiling Vim on Leopard, and it turns out that the culprit is the built in Mac Ruby. No clue why, but when after port installing Ruby, Vim installs cleanly.
I guess I’ll have to go with MacPorts Ruby - having a working Vim beats DTrace, however cool it is.

Why do you use Vim when we have BBEdit and TextMate? Duh!
Jean, it is a matter of taste I presume. I am well aware of TextMate and have used it extensively, but after finally climbing the enormously steep learning curve I prefer Vim.
So all you did differently was port installing ruby and then the regular install of vim worked?
Travis,
What worked after port installing Ruby was custom compiling Vim with the ruby interpreter
