You should say which ruby1.8. i think you run ruby 1.8.2 or later. This 
one began defining a function with the same name as one found in 
gridflow/bridge/puredata.c; and ruby 1.8.2 was released after the version 
of gridflow you are trying to compile, which i guess is 0.7.7.

To fix the problem, edit that file replacing every rb_funcall_rescue by 
rb_funcall_risk_you or whichever name suits your fancy.

You may also upgrade to gridflow cvs head, which has this fixed (but 
is still considered experimental)
