Curb problems on OS X

Ruby
1

Hi,
Is anyone else having problems with curb <http://curb.rubyforge.org/

on OS X using Intel architecture? Just thought I’d check before
filing a bug.

$ ruby --version
ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i686-darwin8.8.2]
$ gem query -n curb

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

curb (0.1.0)
Ruby bindings for the libcurl(3) URL transfer library.
$ irb -rubygems -rcurb
dyld: NSLinkModule() error
dyld: Symbol not found: _curl_easy_escape
Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/curb-0.1.0/lib/
curb_core.bundle
Expected in: flat namespace
$

(ruby, irb, and gem are all installed under /opt/local using MacPorts
http://www.macports.org/).

problems, mostly I think with new(er?) versions of OSX, but nothing

if anyone can shed any light on this issue I’d be most appreciative.

I don’t know what this means (aside from the obvious that it’s a linkage
problem). I found a number of references to similar problems, mostly I
think with new(er?) versions of OSX, but nothing definitive. It’s a
problem, so please do file a bug with Curb, but if anyone can shed any
light on this issue I’d be most appreciative.

Just FYI, it looks like this has been fixed with curb version 0.1.2
(now available as a gem). Thanks to Ross for the quick debugging and
distribution of the fix.
