I just started to learn Merb and DataMapper. I installed them with RubyGems, but it raised error because Merb requires DataMapper 0.9.6 but officialy released only 0.9.5. So I decided to install them from source, and found it is hard to install them from source.
The following is the complete steps to install Merb and DataMapper from source.

From Making Rails Better - ActionView Needs a Makeover:
the internals of ActionView are ugly.
I think so very strongly. View-layer of Ruby on Rails depends on ERB tightly. Rails provides API for other template engine, but it is too poor to make other template engine to be the same position in Rails as ERB.

Using pattern matching, it is easy to implement eRuby. The following is a complete eRuby implementation (named TinyEruby) [...]
