Finally, got rails and ruby and rflickr and RMagick all playing nice together... it took a bit but in the end I got it done. The drawinports way is the way I chose, and it worked well. The process is roughly like:

Use the MacOS X cd's to install the X11SDK package, and then the x11 package. This package (the x11 one) is hard to find, its on the cd in the "other packages" .mpkg file. Though I don't have the cd on me now so let me double check that name.

After thats done, you can get darwinports and follow the instructions here:

A few gotcha's with RMagick, if you install it with the gem apparently you need to use: require 'rubygems' before the require 'RMagick'

Then you can install rflickr by calling:

require_gem 'rflickr' do require 'flickr' as per here:

So all that to say I now have Ruby On Rails working with RadRails on my macOSX tiger intel core 2 duo. w00t
