Hi everyone,

I am trying to build a rails app with a progress openedge 10.1c backend  
db.  
I installed ruby-odbc and tested it with a DSN for mysql and everythign  
works great, however when i use  
ODBC.connect(dsn\_name) it crasehs; all i get is:

> > ODBC.connect(‘odbc\_openedge’)  
> > (irb):40: [BUG] Segmentation fault  
> > ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24) [i386-mswin32]  
> > This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual  
> > way.  
> > Please contact the application’s support team for more information.

Any ideas what might be the problem.  
Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
