I can't speak for everyone, but I do libxslt development and both the libxml and libxslt libraries are quirky, at best, with the way it handles memory. When gluing Ruby with libxslt, it really helps to see what libxml/libxslt thinks is going on. The Perl interface had to build its own reference counting on top of libxml and libxslt, and I've finally caved and am doing the same for Ruby. In talking with other folks who use these libs, it sounds like my experiences aren't unique. -sc -- Sean Chittenden To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
