 Ripped almost verbatim from the macruby-dev mailing list:

 curb does not compile successfully for MacRuby. Normally you have to
 compile curb with a universal binary of libcurl to get it running on MRI,
 so I suspect that architecture incompatibility has something to do with
 why the build is failing. I get the following when I try to install with
 macgem:

 /usr/bin/gcc -I.

 > It looks like this C extension is using an element of the MRI C API that
 we do not support yet. I am guessing it's poking at the RHASH structure,
 which we won't probably support any time soon.

 >> Should I create a ticket for this?

 >>> Why not... but I don't think it will be ever fixed :(
