FSEvents API implementation in MacRuby

I'm a complete noob with MacRuby trying to use this on a project. 'rvm install macruby' then 'macruby file.rb' doesn't work because KCFAllocatorDefault is undefined. Adding 'framework "Foundation"' fixes that, but then KFSEventStreamEventIdSinceNow is not defined, nor FSEventStreamCreate() and probably more. What am I missing?

you might want to install the latest version of MacRuby using the installer we provide on the website instead if using rvm.

Uninstalled through rvm, installed the .pkg from the website, but got the same result.

Have you tried installing the latest BridgeSupport Preview 3 package too? (http://www.macruby.org/files/) It is possible that this is a BridgeSupport bug that we fixed since, as I remember we added fixes for FSEvents specifically.

That was it, thanks both of you!
