Subject: mod_ruby and eruby Apache error


Hi,

I just upgraded my Apache server for various reasons and along with it I
also upgraded mod_ruby and eruby.

It's now producing the following errors:

ruby: warning: already initialized constant DECLINED
ruby: warning: already initialized constant DONE
ruby: warning: already initialized constant OK
ruby: warning: already initialized constant HTTP_CONTINUE
ruby: warning: already initialized constant HTTP_SWITCHING_PROTOCOLS
ruby: warning: already initialized constant HTTP_PROCESSING
ruby: warning: already initialized constant HTTP_OK
ruby: warning: already initialized constant HTTP_CREATED
ruby: warning: already initialized constant HTTP_ACCEPTED
ruby: warning: already initialized constant HTTP_NON_AUTHORITATIVE

[ many other constants removed....]

ruby: warning: already initialized constant OPT_ALL
ruby: warning: already initialized constant SATISFY_ALL
ruby: warning: already initialized constant SATISFY_ANY
ruby: warning: already initialized constant SATISFY_NOSPEC
ruby: warning: already initialized constant MOD_RUBY

Here are the software versions:

SunOS tango.xxx.com 5.7 Generic_106541-18 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-20

Ruby/1.6.7
Apache/1.3.24
mod_ruby/0.9.7

In my httpd.conf:

<IfModule mod_ruby.c>
	RubyRequire apache/ruby-run
	RubyRequire apache/eruby-run
	<Files *.rb>
		SetHandler  ruby-object
		RubyHandler Apache::RubyRun.instance
	</Files>
	<Files *.rbx>
		SetHandler  ruby-object
		RubyHandler Apache::RubyRun.instance
	</Files>
	<Files *.rhtml>
		SetHandler  ruby-object
		RubyHandler Apache::ERubyRun.instance
	</Files>
</IfModule>


When I comment out one of the RubyRequire lines, the warnings go away.
This behaviour didn't happen with these versions:

Apache/1.3.20
Ruby/1.6.6
mod_ruby/0.9.5


I basically understand why this is happening, but not sure how to go
about fixing.  Seems the two requires define the constants each time.
Any suggestions or assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike
