SWIG doesn't know what to do with main(). It only wants to see the 
function prototypes in the library header files. You'll have to write 
your own main() equivalent in Ruby.

SWIG is cool, but it's not simple. If you're new to it, I'd suggest 
doing a couple of really simple examples first. Get a wrapper working for

-- begin sum.h
int sum(int a, int b);
-- end sum.h

-- begin sum.c
int sum(int a, int b)
{
     return a + b;
}
-- end sum.c

and you'll be on your way.
