Mac OS X 10.5.6 Server on an Xserve G4 PPC

Everything was working just fine. Then I tried to install REE. That was a disaster (despite it working fine on two other machines). So I went back to Ruby 1.8.6. I think there are some paths messed up along the way.

Here's the errors / warnings I'm seeing during compile:

And I'm getting this during runtime

A RuntimeError occurred in sessions#new:

expected attribute `type' for element `method'
/Library/Frameworks/RubyCocoa.framework/Resources/ruby/osx/objc/oc_import.rb:104:in `load_bridge_support_file'

Anybody?
