Is there any tutorial/link/website that explains how to wrap existing
c/c++ libraries for use from within Ruby?

Google for “swig ruby” and you should find some useful links. SWIG
(http://www.swig.org/) is a tool for semi-automatically generating
Ruby wrapper code for C/C++ libraries.

I tried swig but is not that clean. I am looking for hand wrapping C/C++
libraries for use with Ruby.

  1. Radar – O’Reilly

  2. There’s a good introduction in
    https://pragprog.com/titles/ruby/programming-ruby-2nd-edition/, which you
    should already own.

The Pickaxe (https://pragprog.com/titles/ruby/programming-ruby-2nd-edition/)
is probably your best source of information about this. Also the Ruby
tarball includes a file called (iirc) README.EXT that has the basic
information.
