Joey,

Thanks for the info. I'm on Win2k also. I was able to get ruby.exe to
link by removing the "_real@..." entries from mswin32-ruby16.def by
hand. Those entries are being created by the mkexports.rb script. After
I become more familiar with Ruby, I'll see why the script is including
the "_real@..." entries in the def file.

BTW The "_real@..." entries are being generate by DUMPOBJ.EXE /SYMBOLS
on the math.obj file.
