Hi Derek,

I looked some more into the issue and I think I have an explanation.
The problem seems to be that libdiscid isn't compiled as a universal binary and ruby expects it to be.
You can verify that this is the problem by doing:
file /usr/local/lib/libdiscid.dylib
And the reported architecture should either be i386 or x86_64

So you need to either get libdiscid built as both i386 and x86_64 which you have to do by hand (or with some scripts that I can help you with) or you need to get ruby to compile the extension with only one architecture. If you only need the gem for local development and aren't gonna distribute binaries getting ruby to change how it compiles is far easier.
Simply do the following command if you are on a 64 bit machine:
sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install mb-discid -- --with-opt-dir=/usr/local 
Or change the x86_64 to i386 on a 32 bit machine.

Kind regards
Nigel

Hi Nigel,

Compiling libdiscid from source, then installing the gem for x86_64
worked!  I'm able to get the ID of a CD.

> sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install mb-discid -- --with-opt-dir=/usr/local

worked for me on a 2008 MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo), in case it
helps someone in the future.

Thanks again for your help!
Derek
