Subject: Re: Extending ruby with crypto++

I haven't tried this myself, but have you looked at ruby's dl package? 
This may save you from having to deal with g++ and linking all 
together.

There's not home page mentioned, but a quick search turned up

http://ttsky.net/ruby/ruby-dl.html

hope this helps.
