[Rubycocoa-talk] AT&T v RubyCocoa

[Duncan M. <du...@on...>]

Just a heads up for posterity. AT&T are shipping a 3G modem card that  
overrides the installed version of RubyCocoa. With VelOCRaptor the  
symptoms are an exception thrown when I attempt to call new on an  
NSClass

/Library/Frameworks/RubyCocoa.framework/Resources/ruby/osx/objc/ 
oc_import.rb:251:in `new': use 'alloc.initXXX' to instantiate Cocoa
Object (RuntimeError)

The frameworks they are installing are

On Kimura Wataru's excellent advice, I am looking at setting  
DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH or maybe DYLD_FALLBACK_FRAMEWORK_PATH to solve  
this problem, but as I can't reproduce it here yet, I am unable to  
report whether or not this works.
