It compiles and installs now but the crash running CircleView is still there. I'll try your gdb suggestions later.

I have 4GB memory and when I tried it with Safe Boot and Shift-down after login there should be a minimal amount of programs running.

There is a serious problem in the install however. I had removed all the macruby installed files in /usr/local/bin and after running the install the executables with the "mac" prefix were installed along with these standard forms:

erb -> ../../..///Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/Current/usr/bin/erb
gem -> ../../..///Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/Current/usr/bin/gem
irb -> ../../..///Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/Current/usr/bin/irb
rake -> ../../..///Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/Current/usr/bin/rake
rdoc -> ../../..///Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/Current/usr/bin/rdoc
ri -> ../../..///Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/Current/usr/bin/ri
ruby -> ../../..///Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/Current/usr/bin/ruby
testrb -> ../../..///Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/Current/usr/bin/testrb

That's a problem because now these are found my path first and now shadow the ruby, rake I normally use.

  cd /usr/local/bin
  sudo rm erb gem irb rake rdoc ri ruby

fixed that.

I'd assume that adding this:

  --program-prefix=mac

as a configure parameter would disable installation of the standard named executables.
