Subject: Having trouble embedding ruby.


     Hi,

   What I have is:
     - A little wrapper executable which basicly just links to
       libruby-static.a and tries to run a specific script.
     - Extension, that for now does nothing but try to init GLUT and open
       a window
     - Optionally I can compile the wrapper and extension statically
       together

   And I'm on Mac OS X 10.4.4, with ruby 1.8.4

   What I get is:

   - When using the standard ruby executable or irb, the extension works
     properly.
   - The wrapper executable seems to run other ruby code properly.
   - When using the extension through the wrapper (either statically or
     by loading dynamically) I get this:

/Users/scoopr/Code/kiya-ng/final/pkgtest.app/Contents/Resources/init.rb:12:
[BUG] Bus Error
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [powerpc-darwin8.4.0]

Abort trap

   Line 12 being the last (empty) line of the init script, the script
   just puts hello world and tries to init the extension.

   What I noticed that loading of the extension itself doesn't break, but
   the actual call to glutInit is the offending call!

   Is there something I'm missing? Some library that I forgot to link
   (but for some reason no compile errors for it)? Some other compile
   parameter that I forgot/have to be removed?


   Motivation for the wrapper initially is to make a proper .app bundle
   for macs, and I know that there is atleast the rubycocoa one also, but
   I want to get this working also.


Thanks,
Mikko
