Subject: Re: embedding interpreter --- how to load ext's?

thanks for the advice.  i spent some time looking at the source of the 
ruby interpreter and it looks like search_required will only load .rb, 
.so, .o or .dll on a windows machine.  the build process only cranks out 
an .obj and a .lib file.  if i rename stringio.obj to stringio.so or 
stringio.dll it tries to load it and fails with:

193: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.   - ./stringio.so

this .obj file is built at the same time as the .lib i am using as the 
embedded interpreter so it isnt a compiler version issue.

interestingly, if i copy the stringio.so that i got from the one click 
installer into my running folder for my embedded ruby i get the same 
error. 

but isn't the point of linking the .lib into my exe to have the stringio 
object available without having to dynamically load the object file?

anyone have any ideas for me?

apologies if i am being a bit foolish ;)

thanks!

-Josh
