Okay, I put all this stuff into rbldap.h instead of misc.c, as I got the same 
problem for RARRAY stuff from conn.c.  Then I got a compile.  I haven't checked 
to see if it works yet, and I'll post further if it does not, but this is a good 
step to reply with thanks.

That is what I will prefer for my stuff, but the whole point of this exercise is 
to get a fairly standard deliverable on CentOS, so I'll likely need to make a 
local gem for my deliverable.  I will look and see about a 1.9 install, but I'm 
afraid for these purposes the rbldap.h hack will be more appropriate.

Thanks.  I will reply with a note on whether this really works.

Sincerely, Xeno.
