You need to upgrade to a newer version of automake on  on Mac OS X - 1.7 or 
above to cure the looping.

The instructions for building on Mac OS X are in qtruby/README.build. The 
problem is that automake/autoconf don't work very well on Mac OS X, and after 
the 'make -f Makefile.cvs' and configure steps you need to build the rest 
using a combination of extconf.rb and qmake as described in README.build.

There is a problem with the current instructions for building the qui 
extension, which I've just corrected in the CVS. It should say this:

# Build the 'qui' QWidgetFactory extension
$ cd qtruby/rubylib/designer/uilib
$ ruby extconf.rb --with-qtruby-include=../../qtruby 
--with-qt-dir=/Developer/qt \
       --with-smoke-include=../../../../smoke
$ make LDSHARED="cc -dynamic -bundle 
-bundle_loader ../../qtruby/qtruby.bundle"
$ make install
