It looks like the wrapper code for "MyBaseClass" > intercepts the call to "new" and never even tries to invoke "initialize". It's just a flaw in the implementation of SWIG/Ruby. Invoking "initialize" from extension class was not so common technique when I wrote that part of SWIG. So just adding rb_obj_call_init() may clear up the problem. If you've already made some fix, I want to apply the patch. Or I'll fix. Masaki Fukushima
