Thanks for the report Nathaniel. Before I forget, the latest version of BridgeSupport is preview 3, not preview 2 http://www.macruby.org/files/ (small detail but you are not the first one to mention that).
Here is my understanding of the problem. The --bs flag includes in your app the bs files that found in your machine. (so if you have BSp2, these files will be included). Once you deploy your app to another machine, you probably only embedded the MacRuby framework, therefore the machine has the old BS version that ships with Snow Leopard. At this point, the new BS file is loaded in the old BS and that's when the problem occurs. In other words, the new BS files are not compatible with the old BS. That's quite a problem indeed. My guess is that Apple is planning on shipping the new BS in Lion. Updating the old BS via a system update would probably break some code relying on the old format. So I'm not really sure what the solution is. Laurent, am I right? What are the solutions?
