Thank you, I used ruby_init() before rb_eval_string() and it worked.
However, when the string to be evaluated is not a valid Ruby command
the interpreter segfaults, instead of just printing the error.

For an rb_eval_string("puts '"):

elathan@velka:~/TRuby/tmp> ./runit 
(eval): (eval): compile error (SyntaxError)
(eval): unterminated string meets end of file(eval): [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.9.0 (2004-05-25) [i686-linux]

Aborted

I would like to be able to handle the error.
