from what I read .so is an extension for a shared library.

The extension for a shared library on Mac OS X is .dylib, so this
shared library is named mymfunction.dylib on Mac OS X. This book uses
.so as the extension for UNIX shared libraries, so Mac OS X users need
to use the proper extension.

there are a number of dylib files with gtk in it:

/private/opt/local/lib anne$ ls libgtk*
libgtk-1.2.0.9.1.dylib          libgtkglext-x11-1.0.0.2.4.dylib
libgtk-1.2.0.dylib              libgtkglext-x11-1.0.0.dylib
libgtk-x11-2.0.0.800.16.dylib   libgtkglext-x11-1.0.a
libgtk-x11-2.0.0.dylib          libgtkglext-x11-1.0.dylib
libgtk-x11-2.0.dylib            libgtkglext-x11-1.0.la
libgtk-x11-2.0.la               libgtkhtml-2.0.0.0.dylib
libgtk.1.dylib                  libgtkhtml-2.0.dylib
libgtk.a                        libgtkhtml-2.a
libgtk.dylib                    libgtkhtml-2.dylib
libgtk.la                       libgtkhtml-2.la

I tried recompiling by hand, starting with gettext glib, etc. I
download the gettext source, and the configure, make of gettext gave an
error, so I posted my problem to the ruby gettext list in case that is
part of my trouble.
