Subject: [ruby-talk:25310] 1.6.5 and eRuby - a problem

Hello all,

I have a problem with eRuby and I've been
trying to solve is all day long.

There's a working Apache and an application
written using eRuby 0.9.6 - all working well.
eRuby was compiled with 1.6.4.

I compiled Ruby 1.6.5, then compiled eRuby, the same
version (0.9.6).  My application doesn't work anymore.
It doesn't throw that nice eRuby debug screen,
the error is:

eruby: [BUG] Segmentation
fault                                                                     
ruby 1.6.5 (2001-09-19)
[i686-linux]                                                                
[Thu Nov 15 15:57:13 2001] [error] [client 192.168.102.241] Premature
end of script headers: /home/wwwroot/cgi-bin/eruby

I started digging for the cause. I have excluded
wrong Apache configuration, because it works with
eRuby compiled with 1.6.4 perfecly well, I even checked 
it once again.

Here's what I've found so far:
Even this file:
========================
<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>                                                                           
hello<br>                                                                                           
<% require 'English.rb'
%>                                                                          
<%= Time.now
%>                                                                                     
<html> 
========================

causes the error. If I comment the require line, or
remove it, it does work. BTW English.rb is just 
an example, any other 'required' library causes
the same error.

What is even more amazing is that eRuby DOES work 
with this file in offline mode:

eruby -Mc test2.rhtml

   the output is:
========================
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Length: 73

<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>
hello<br>

Thu Nov 15 17:53:16 CET 2001
<html>
========================


What am I missing or doing wrong?
I just don't have any idea of
what the reason is!  Of course I can
use my old eRuby executable, but I just
can't sleep when I think there's something
I can't do ;-)
