Heh, thanks. I seem to have learned about this newsgroup 1 day too late. 
Should have searched first :/

Neither of the install docs I read:
http://modruby.net/doc/install.en.html 
http://sean.chittenden.org/programming/ruby/mod_ruby/apachecon-2002/mod_ruby_intro.html
mention the --enable-shared option. I can't seem to find information 
about it online (that actually describes it).

What does it do? And do I want it on both eRuby and mod_ruby, or only eRuby?

Yup, mine too. Yay!
