Subject: [ruby-talk:03894] mod_ruby

I just discovered Ruby today and must say I'm incredibly impressed! Matz and 
everyone else who has contributed have really done an amazing job. I've 
recently been reading OOSC2 by Bertrand Meyer (the Eiffel author) and have 
been learning a great deal about the theoretical background for OO software 
construction and was impressed with how well Ruby stacks up.

I'm very interested in the interpreted nature of Ruby, especially with respect 
to embeddding Ruby into Apache via mod_ruby.

I successfully installed Ruby on my Red Hat 5.1 machine (Linux 2.0.35). I also 
installed the MySQL modules and have them working just swell. I successfully 
compiled mod_ruby and restarted the server. The server acknowledged that 
mod_ruby was indeed loaded, but accesses to *.rb scripts cause a core dump. 
I'm currently running Apache 1.3.12 and mod_perl 1.21 (statically compiled in) 
and PHP (as a DSO). Any ideas on the core dumping? I was unable to find much 
documentation describing mod_ruby, so I had a hard time trying to resolve 
this.

Any help would be appreciated. Please response via email as well, since I will 
defnitely get that.

Thanks, and congratulations to everyone who has developed such a jem of a 
language!
