Me, too.  Thanks for the post.

If you put the lines:

$CFLAGS << " -DALIGNMENT -DEXPORT"
if Config::CONFIG["CC"] =~ /gcc/
    $CFLAGS += " -Wall -fwritable-strings"
end

into extconf.rb then it should make okay.  It did under cygwin
though I have yet to check it against linux (later today, if I
get the time).

I almost have ratlast 0.2 ready to release.  This adds a number
of control and performance items, like breaking loops, memory
stats for the interpreter, and so on.  Also, I plan on having
Atlast#eval return the first element in the capture array so
you could do something like:

t = Atlast.new
n = t.eval("342 406 gcd .")
puts "gcd = #{n}"
