Rails - Jul 2006 - Openbase and Rails issue

Greetings, ever helpful Rails community.  I''m trying to connect to an 
Openbase 9.1.1 database through Rails 1.1.4 on my Mac OSX 10.4.7 box 
(Ruby 1.8.4, Openbase driver version 0.7.3, both compiled with gcc 4; 
I''ve also got OCI and MySQL drivers out there, as well as the Ruby 
OpenLDAP library in case any of those cause conflicts).

When I go into irb and type this:
__________________
irb(main):001:0> require ''openbase''

I get:

=> true
______________
When I go into script/console and type this:

 >> require ''openbase''

I get:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.7.0/openbase.bundle: 
[BUG] Bus Error
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [powerpc-darwin8.7.0]

which is less useful to me.  Has anyone else faced the same issue and 
can perhaps tell me what might be causing it?

Thanks much,
