Hi,
just thought I''d signal an issue I had this morning installing unicorn
under Ruby 1.9.1.
I''m using the exellent rvm to handle my rubies and made a mistake when
I first installed it after passing to Snow Leopard. In order to build libraries
with 64bit support you have to stick the following in your ~/.rvmrc:
rvm_archflags="-arch x86_64"
So my mistake was I built my ruby 1.9 before passing to a 64bit kernel.
I got a pretty weird error from unicorn:
In file included from unicorn_http.rl:7:
ext_help.h: In function ?rb_18_str_set_len?:
ext_help.h:20: error: ?struct RString? has no member named ?len?
ext_help.h:21: error: ?struct RString? has no member named ?ptr?
make: *** [unicorn_http.o] Error 1
That threw me off in the wrong direction, thinking it was yet another extension
that didn''t get the RSTRING struct changes right. Not so.
Looking more carefully at mkmf.log it all became obvious:

/Users/david/.rvm/ruby-1.9.1-p243/include/ruby-1.9.1/ruby.h:32,

Lipo to the rescue:
lipo -info ~/.rvm/ruby-1.9.1-p243/lib/libruby-static.a
input file /Users/david/.rvm/ruby-1.9.1-p243/lib/libruby-static.a is not a fat
file
Non-fat file: /Users/david/.rvm/ruby-1.9.1-p243/lib/libruby-static.a is

Solution? Remove old 1.9 install and reinstall everything (at least all C
extensions).
