memory allocation reporting?

I created a script that using up alot of memory very quickly. All the
resources like file handles, db results, and objects are being freed. I am
using a third party library so I am wondering if the problem lies with their
code.
My question is what would I use to make a report showing how much memory is
being allocated by which objects, methods and variables. I remember a
professor doing something like this with run times in c++ with the gcc
compiler.

You could try Bleakhouse or mem-inspect.

**Disclaimer - I've used neither of these gems

the simplest way to see what's happening is probably dike

gem install dike

http://codeforpeople.com/lib/ruby/dike/dike-0.0.4/README

take a snapshot before and after an allocation by the lib the use dike
to do a diff.
