Including a .so like a .dll?

Hi,

I’m coming from the Microsoft world and I liked the easy way how to
integrate libraries (dlls) into Ruby by using the Win32 module.

Is there any counterpart in Linux so that I can easily define the entry
points in Ruby to call routines from the so library?

I’ve browsed through the “Extending Ruby” chapter but it seems that it takes
much more effort (but it seems that this is a different approach).

Any idea how to do the Windows-DLL-solution on Linux ?
Thanks in advance…
Christoph
