Its in the release, in the samples/ sub-directory.

What are you trying to do?

You should be aware that you need ruby-cocoa in order to use it (that''s
what is "wrapped").

I don''t know about "active". But its there, seems to work.
You need
to know about obj-c to use the ruby bindings.

If you want to access AB from the cmd line, install lbdb (little brother
DB), it has a cmd-line tool to query the AB, I use it from inside
mutt now (its way faster than ruby).
