I am still alive and kicking, despite not having published any posts lately. ;-)
I have started to contribute to Vanilla Forums 2.0, if you’re curious, you can check out my fork here.
Gotta love open source. :-)

Being primarily a PHP developer, I always use an AMP package no matter what development platform I am on. So when it comes to developing Ruby/Rails applications on the same platform, I’d like to use what is already available.
Mike Boone has posted a very useful tutorial on how to get MySQL gem and MAMP 1.7.2 up and running. So, to recap and make the tutorial compatible with Snow Leopard and MAMP 1.8.x, here is what you need to do:
$ ./configure --with-unix-socket-path=/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock --without-server --prefix=/Applications/MAMP/Library
$ make -j2
$ cp libmysql/.libs/*.dylib /Applications/MAMP/Library/lib/mysql
$ mkdir /Applications/MAMP/Library/include
$ cp -R include /Applications/MAMP/Library/include/mysql
$ sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql_config
On Leopard:
$ sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql_config
Enjoy!
EDIT @ 2009-11-23: If you’re still experiencing problems (perhaps with RVM), try adding “/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/” to your $PATH in “~/.bash_profile”.

I wrote a quick review for the book Zend Framework 1.8 Web Application Development on Nettuts+, please go check it out if you’re looking into developing with Zend Framework. :)

If you are using Kohana 2.x, please use Authlite 1.x, otherwise, you are welcome to check out the new code tailored for Kohana 3.0.
Please check out the code on Github.
So far I’ve only spent a little bit of time to make it work on Kohana 3.0, but I will be addressing some known issues and adding more features in the next few days. :)

Even though the method outlined in my previous post would still work, I thought I’d post a cleaner one to handle the auto-load of Zend Framework classes in Kohana.
The code works with Zend Framework 1.8+, where a new Autoloader class has been introduced.
You can put the code in an appropriate place in your application, it could be in the base controller, or if you’re using Kohana 3.0, in the bootstrap file.
You now no longer need to manually ‘include/require’ Zend Framework files. :)
if ($path = Kohana::find_file('vendors', 'Zend/Loader'))
{
ini_set('include_path',
ini_get('include_path').PATH_SEPARATOR.dirname(dirname($path)));
require_once 'Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php';
Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
}
