You will probably have more chance with the version in Rails 3. It's not going to work out of the box though, I had to patch it a little bit to work around bugs. I don't recommend using this library with MacRuby at the moment unless you know what you're doing.

Supporting ActiveSupport in 0.6 was not a goal, but more a "nice to have".

I would recommend doing Matt's suggestion, which is to manually delete MacRuby then re-install through the installer (if it's what you did). 

You write you saw "abort traps". Do you still have the crash logs in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter ? If yes, attaching one to a Trac bug might be a good idea.
