Hm, I'm pretty clueless myself about the above, but a couple of observation:

1) the path seems strange, why does it install to
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/ instead of the more usual
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/ ...

2) what does 'ldd /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/i386-freebsd5/plruby.so' say?
Does it include the line similar to:

  libruby.so.1.8 => /usr/lib/libruby.so.1.8 (0x40037000)

(*.so.1.6 in your case).

3) have you tried upgrading your Ruby installation to 1.8?
