Library does not load under Rubinius

I expect you already know about this, but just in case:

Known issue with Rubinius' ffi implementation. We're relying on enums for easy Ruby-ish Symbol-based enums. I'll leave this issue open just for tracking purposes, though.

See https://github.com/evanphx/rubinius/issues/682 for details.

Fixed in RBX - the platform was modified to work with the bastardized FFI gem we all love and use, so anything that runs on MRI should run on Rubinius. Thread safety is a concern however (we dont have a GIL, so libraries must be threadsafe).

This appears to load now in the latest releases.
