Yeah, this is a bug that didn't make it into the book (because I fixed it 
locally, but forgot to address it).  It's been fixed in the qtruby sources, 
so the next release should take care of it.  Any fix should work (I just 
changed the line to ... = 0), because that function should never be called 
from within QtRuby anyway.

This sounds like the dynamic linker just needs a refresh.  I don't have my Mac 
in front of me right now, but I'll play with it a little later and see if I 
can't reproduce the issue.

I hope you're not going crazy!  There's an errata page 
( http://books.pragprog.com/titles/ctrubyqt/errata ) that you can also use to 
check on issues/post new ones that may be helpful to others who are 
experiencing the same issues.
