FIX for Lion's posix_spawn_ext.bundle: [BUG] Segmentation fault

The segfault problem with posix_spawn is indeed caused by Lion's compiler being LLVM and not GCC by default. However, when I installed RVM, the notes suggested that on Lion you need to add export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 to your shell startup file (.bashrc or .zshrc as appropriate). I did that, but it seems that's what caused problems: while ruby 1.9.2 needs you to use GCC to install it, using the same compiler for the gems apparently causes breakage.

First, you need to install XCode 4.x, which is now a free (though hefty!) download from the Mac App Store. Without that, you have no gcc, so you won't get anywhere ;-)

Next, what you need to do is clear out your rvm ruby and the associated gems (make sure you are cd'd into your octopress repository then do:

rvm remove ruby-1.9.2 --gems --archive

which will clear everything out so that you can start from scratch. Obviously, if you have other stuff you've installed for other purposes using RVM, be careful with this. If you previously had the export CC li

Enable key repeat in Apple Lion for Sublime Text in Vim mode
# Mac OS X Lion introduced a new, iOS-like context menu when you press and hold a key
# that enables you to choose a character from a menu of options. If you are on Lion
# try it by pressing and holding down 'e' in any app that uses the default NSTextField
# for input.
#
# It's a nice feature and continues the blending of Mac OS X and iOS features. However,
# it's a nightmare to deal with in Sublime Text if you're running Vintage (Vim) mode,
# as it means you cannot press and hold h/j/k/l to move through your file. You have
# to repeatedly press the keys to navigate.

Deploy to `gh-pages` from a `dist` folder on the master branch. Useful for use with [yeoman](http://yeoman.io).

Deploying a subfolder to GitHub Pages

Sometimes you want to have a subdirectory on the master branch be the root directory of a repository’s gh-pages branch. This is useful for things like sites developed with Yeoman, or if you have a Jekyll site contained in the master branch alongside the rest of your code.

For the sake of this example, let’s pretend the subfolder containing your site is named dist.

Step 1

Remove the dist directory from the project’s .gitignore file (it’s ignored by default by Yeoman).
