Loading shared libraries built by Visual Studio C++ 8

Ruby
1

Hi!

I have Ruby 1.8.2 (Windows One-click installer - thanks, Curt!)

and used to use Visual C++ 6.0 for a long time to create shared libs
(using SWIG and extconf.rb) that I could load in with “require”… but
now that I’ve upgraded to Visual Studio C++ 8.0, I get the following
error after recompiling everything:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe
R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library
incorrectly.
Please contact the application’s support team for more information.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong or how to fix this?

Thanks!

VC6 and VC8 use the different versions of runtime DLL. You
can’t mix them because of the restriction of Windows DLL
loader mechanism.
