from main.c I have learned to load and run a single script but how can I  
load and run several scripts? When I call ruby\_run\_node for a second  
time I get a “Segmentation fault” error.

This is OK:  
char \* f[] = {"",“script.rb”};  
void\* node = ruby\_options(2,f);  
ruby\_run\_node(node);

but obviously I can not load and run the second script the same way, the  
code

char \* f2[] = {"",“script2.rb”};  
void\* node2 = ruby\_options(2,f2);  
ruby\_run\_node(node2);

generates the following output:

: warning: already initialized constant Enable

I would also like to know how to run different scripts independently (in  
separate scopes).
