thanks Bob for the link, following those instructions I got this far:

// niftest.c
#include "erl_nif.h"
static ERL_NIF_TERM hello(ErlNifEnv* env)
{
    return enif_make_string(env, "Hello world!");
}
static ErlNifFunc nif_funcs[] =
{
    {"hello", 0, hello}
};
ERL_NIF_INIT(niftest,nif_funcs,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL)

========================

%% niftest.erl
-module(niftest).
-export([hello/0]).
-on_load(run_me/0).

run_me() ->
      erlang:load_nif("./niftest", 0).
hello() ->
      "NIF library not loaded".

========================

I tried exporting the run_me/0 function as well with the same results?
If I take out the -on_load(run_me/0). and add run_me/0 to the export it works.
Any ideas what I am missing here?
