  Ooops... We will need debugging information. Could you run

~ gdb --args =ruby =tioga

  You should get a prompt there. Send us the output of the command bt
in that prompt (along with the rest).

  Could you try replacing

# define INTERN __private_extern__

  by

# define INTERN __attribute__ ((visibility ("hidden")))

  in the split/namespace.h file and recompile ? (I'm afraid I don't
really know how to do it with Rubygems -- I could provide you with a
modified .gem file if you prefer).

  Cheers,

      Vincent, who thought that these problems had definitely gone...
