Subject: Ruby extension (C++) on OS X [ruby 1.8.2] and Google-Sketchup [ruby 1.8.5]

Hi,

  I have written a ruby extension in C++ and it works fine on OS X
Tiger which ships ruby-1.8.2.

  With the succesful test of the extension (bundle), I then proceed to
try to use it within Google-Sketchup [which I think embeds ruby-1.8.5].

  Sketchup crashes the application just loading the extension.

8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------
  void
  Init_rcl(void)
  {
    cRCL = rb_define_class("rcl", rb_cObject); <=== /CRASH
8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------

  Has there been significant changes in extension loading/startup
between ruby 1.8.2 and 1.8.5?

  I could install 1.8.5 on my machine to try ou but wanted to find out
more information before I do that.

Regards
