how to use an upgraded gcc compiler

[Charlie Caroff]

The ports version of libxml looks to have been abandoned some time ago, and
the non ports version is much newer (ports: 0.3.2, non-ports -.3.8.4)  It
also seems that libxml-ruby itself is being abandoned in favor of an
upgrade, judging from recent activity on

And, just as I try always to install on FreeBSD with ports, I try to install
all new Ruby on Rails packages using GEM.

I cannot figure out how to install libxml-ruby -- I don't understand the
errors, and I can't find any info about them on the 'net -- my next move is
to try and use the 4.0 gcc compiler I just installed.
