Trying to get RDF::Raptor to run under FFI 1.3.0. This gist documents https://github.com/ffi/ffi/issues/245

##Issue ffi/ffi#245

TypeError: no implicit conversion from nil to integer

##Platform

uname -a
Darwin dbutler.local 12.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 12.2.0: Sat Aug 25 00:48:52 PDT 2012; root:xnu-2050.18.24~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

I have also seen the issue occur in Ubuntu (on Travis CI).

##Running ###Installing libraptor OSX:

brew install raptor

Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install libraptor2-0
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libraptor2.so.0 /usr/lib/libraptor2.so

###Running the code

git clone -b ffi-1.3.0 git@github.com:ruby-rdf/rdf-raptor.git
cd rdf-raptor
bundle
rake

##Travis CI I tried running a Travis build with rbx-head/FFI 1.2.0, but it looks like Travis isn't yet picking up the pre-bundled gem. https://travis-ci.org/ruby-rdf/rdf-raptor/builds/4060556

I also tried running Travis with rbx-head/FFI 1.3.0, but got more strange errors: https://travis-ci.org/ruby-rdf/rdf-raptor/jobs/4060688

Here's a sample run with Ruby 1.9.3 / FFI 1.3.0: https://travis-ci.org/ruby-rdf/rdf-raptor/jobs/4061068
