I’m testing some web applications (not rails) that use ruby-fcgi with  
current trunk version of ruby1.9 (btw, I’m glad to see now, that gem  
is included as a part of ruby :-D).  
Well, the thing is, that when trying to install fcgi using gem, this  
is what I get:

gcc -I. -I/opt/ruby1.9/include/ruby-1.9/i686-darwin9.0.0 -I/opt/  
ruby1.9/include/ruby-1.9 -I. -DHAVE\_FCGIAPP\_H -fno-common -g -O2 -  
pipe -fno-common -c fcgi.c  
fcgi.c: In function ‘fcgi\_stream\_write’:  
fcgi.c:225: error: ‘struct RString’ has no member named ‘ptr’  
fcgi.c:225: error: ‘struct RString’ has no member named ‘len’  
fcgi.c: In function ‘fcgi\_stream\_puts’:  
fcgi.c:308: error: ‘struct RString’ has no member named ‘ptr’  
fcgi.c:308: error: ‘struct RString’ has no member named ‘len’  
fcgi.c: In function ‘fcgi\_stream\_gets’:  
fcgi.c:382: error: ‘struct RString’ has no member named ‘len’  
make: \*\*\* [fcgi.o] Error 1

Apparently fcgi is trying to access some struct members that have  
changed in Ruby 1.9. Before digging into the fcgi gem, does anyone  
know if the mantainer of this gem is working in ruby1.9 support?

regards,

nevermind… it was an easy fix 😛  
I’ll send the patches to the ruby-fcgi mantainers.
