I would just use the Ruby API. Unless you have a specific need to
provide bindings for multiple languages, SWIG is really adding, not
removing complexity. Write the smallest extension you can and build it
incrementally. The previously mentioned readme.ext and pick axe
chapters are excellent, you may also find some value in the Ruby
Hacking Guide (partially translated at: http://rhg.rubyforge.org/).

Good luck and if you get stuck, ask again
