From: Stefano Crocco Date: 2006-11-08T17:52:18+09:00 Subject: Re: how to include this library into ruby? Since this is a c extension to ruby, you need to compile this. To do so, you should do the following (in the directory where you unpacked the files) ruby extconf.rb #creates the Makefile make #compiles the extension make install #installs the extension on the system #needs to be run with root privileges In theory, this should work. I tried to do this before replying to your post, however, but got a compilation error in the make step. The readme file says that linux is supported (unlike the 0.0.1 release which only supports FreeBSD), so there may be something wrong with my system, or the problem might be due to the fact that this is an alpha release. I'm sorry I can't help you more with this -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
