FYI, the patch I submitted to the list worked fine on Gentoo Linux as
well as Ubuntu here.
Because all it does is to move the shared lib into the right directory,
I suspect the library crash in your case is due to some other reasons.
Can you check whether libxml_so.so crashes or not without the patch?
With the original 0.8.3 gem, libxml_so.so is not installed anywhere,
but you should be able to regenerated it by running 'make' in
gems/1.8/gems/libxml-ruby-0.3.8/ext/xml.
Then run 'gem check -t libxml-ruby' to see if it's working properly.

Or, are you implying that the tarball installation did not work either?
If so, I have no idea what caused the crash...
Cheers,
