I had thought from readme.ext that configuring with the '--with-static-linked-ext' argument would cause the extensions listed in ext\config to be compiled into the interpreter such that they would not need to be 'require'd when running scripts with that interpreter. This seems not to be the case, so I'm wondering what this argument actually does and if there is a way to do what I had thought it did. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
