For those that are working on Mac OS X Snow Leopard and trying to install Vagrant, I find a fix for a small gotcha. Just install X Code from the Mac Install CD if you are getting the following error:

Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing vagrant: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb mkmf.rb can't find header files for ruby at /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/ruby.h Gem files will remain installed in /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/json-1.5.1 for inspection.

Installing PHPUnit 3.5 on Ubuntu 10.10

If you install PHPUnit through Ubuntu's aptitude, you will end up with PHPUnit 3.2.  So lets install PHPUnit from pear to get the 3.5.    

# Install and update pear sudo apt-get updates sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install -y php-pear php5-curl php5-xdebug sudo pear channel-update pear.php.net sudo pear upgrade-all

# Install PHPUnit sudo pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de sudo pear channel-discover components.ez.no sudo pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com sudo pear install --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit
