Binary package hint: libodbc-ruby1.9.1

Hello,

I have a ODBC data source configured using iodbc for a PostgreSLQ database.
I've installed libodbc-ruby1.9.1 and when I try to use this data source, I get:

$ irb1.9.1
irb(main):001:0> require 'odbc'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> c = ODBC.connect('test')
irb1.9.1: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/i686-linux/odbc.so: undefined symbol: rb_str2cstr

I'm running ruby1.9 with no gems (all ruby packages installed from Ubuntu's repository).

Any ideas about what can be wrong with my installation?

Thanks,
Daniel

I'm receiving the same thing:

$ irb1.9.1
irb(main):001:0> require 'sqlite3'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> c = SQLite3::Database.new('test.db')
irb1.9.1: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/x86_64-linux/sqlite3_api.so: undefined symbol: rb_str2cstr

I'm running ruby 1.9.1 no gems installed, using only Ubuntu packages.
