ruby-fcgi on FreeBSD 5.1

[Carsten Eckelmann]

Hi,

I just installed ruby-fcgi on FreeBSD 5.1 from the ports tree. It
installed the version 0.8.4, which should be the newest and freshest.
However apparently the function FCGI.each_cgi is not available in this
version on FreeBSD. I did FCGI.methods from irb and the function was not
there. I looked at the c-source - and the function was not there!

I installed this same version on a Debian Box via apt-get and there
each_cgi exists.

What's happening here?

Confused,
Carsten.

There is no C version of each_cgi, it says so in a comment in the pure-Ruby
version. See fcgi.rb:423

Maybe under Debian apt-get didn't build the C extension and you are requiring
the pure Ruby version, which does have a each_cgi method.
