This issue is FAQ, but the appropriate answer of this is not yet
found out. 

Currently, clear things about this are:

* The problem occurs in runtime when the libruby as a dynamic
  library is used to build RubyCocoa.framework.

* Maybe, in this case, build of RubyCocoa.framework, IOW
  install.rb setup process, has finished incompletely. So the
  framework is corrupt really.

* It is indistinct what kind of case this occurs in.

* Nobody solves this. Or there is not a report of solution.

* In my environment, I cannot experience this problem.


A result of the below test may become hint about this:

  $ YOUR_RUBY_COMMAND install.rb --help
  $ YOUR_RUBY_COMMAND inspect-ruby.rb  # the bottom of this email

Or, specify the static libruby instead of a dynamic one in config
phase. In this case, the problem would occur in setup phase;
before runtime:

  $ YOUR_RUBY_COMMAND install.rb config YOUR_OPTIONS --libruby-path=FULL_PATH_OF_YOUR_LIBRUBY_A
