You want to do this on just YOUR machine, or on other people's machines who have your plugin ?

[Dan Rathbun]

Please explain WHY you think you need to do this ??

How will you determine what VERSION of Win32API has been loaded ?? (There is no version information within it's C source or it's resulting Ruby class.)

Just on my own machine.

I run a plugin,return "Error: #<RuntimeError: Incompatible digest API version>".
I think maybe a deffirent version of digest API has been loaded.So I want to unload it.

DO you have the .so version that is appropriate to your Sketchup version ?
Dan has them set out here viewtopic.php?p=380121#p380121

Sounds like your plugin wants to use digest.so

Yes.
Is there a way to unload a loaded *.so file?

Not really as it's not written in Ruby. It's written in C.

The solution is to control the Ruby enviroment you are running, so:

Where and what Ruby version is your so files getting loaded from ??

What ruby version are you running ??
In the Ruby Console type:
RUBY_VERSION
and
RUBY_PATCHLEVEL

What platform are you running on?
What SketchUp edition, version and MR are you using ??

You could do what I did - download the Win32 API from the Win32 Utils project: http://rubyforge.org/projects/win32utils (download the win32-api package), modify it into your own namespace and build your own version.

The solution is to control the Ruby enviroment you are running, so:

Where did you get the .so files that you are trying to load ??

What Ruby version / patchlevel did they come from ?

[wikii]

I found that one plugin uses digest.so from ruby 1.8 , another uses digest.so from ruby 1.86.

[Dan Rathbun]

Get the full Ruby & install it
and use the !loadpaths script (or something similar,) to be sure that files from the system Ruby libs are loading.

Remove any standard Ruby .so files from plugin dir.

How are you doing on the so file version situation ??

I ask the author of the plugin.He told me that plugin use degist.so from 1.8.

Well they need to update the plugin, as SketchUp 8 on Win32 uses Ruby v1.8.6-p287 ...
