Right and also this change:

http://github.com/ffi/ffi/commit/8def900a43445375d0d642aea6093baeebdf4aa1

is only in 0.6.0 -- which doesn't appear to have been released as a gem yet.

I compiled from source and installed and it does work using multiple and alternate libraries.


It works in JRuby head (1.5.0 dev) also -- I'm not sure when the change was made.

Ask Wayne if there is anything holding up a release of the v0.6.0 gem of ffi.
