What is in the .lib file?

If it is ruby code (in which case you should just
change it to .rb anyway:),

  require "#{path}/foobar.lib"

Should work fine.

If it is object code, I believe ruby can only load
.so (and, I assume, .dll) files so you may need to
extract the shared library.

If it is just plain text or something, you would
want to use File.open(filename) {|f| do_something_with f }.

Please clarify a bit and I am sure we can help you
get it working right!
