Grails has been updated to 1.0.4. It will be available in the next revision of Macports.

To Install Grails on the Mac, do as follows.

1. Install MacPorts

2. Call

sudo port install grails

3. Open a terminal window and edit your profile file

type sudo nano .profile

change it so it looks like this,

export PATH="$PATH:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/Users/tlin/grails/bin"
export JAVA_HOME="/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home"
export GRAILS_HOME="/opt/local/share/java/grails"

4. Save.
