Yeah, but how obvious is the reason why it happens?... That's why I now 
make it print the path at startup.

By default, there's a "." in the path, but it's not active if your current
dir isn't the one where gridflow.so sits. Because of that,
gridflow.pd_darwin (and .pd_linux) figures out where it was found by pd,
using open_via_path(), and then prepends a few things in Ruby's path.

But hey, Ruby might actually be looking for a .dylib or a .bundle ! what 
if you rename gridflow.so ?
