Forum: Ruby-Gnome 2 newbie: can't install on to os x 10.8.2

I am very eager basically excited to use VisualRuby unfortunately:

went thru the entire homebrew , gtk , vr install , and it all seemed to
have installed ok, but when I tried to launch vr I got the following

process:53754): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2720: You forgot to

what do I need to do  ?

thanks

first of all I should mention that on my Mac attempt that X11 starts 
when I try to run VR. I had to install X11 to install and run a 
diagramming app called DIA.

so I also tried on a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit installation , followed all 
the steps which provided no error output and then attempted to launch vr 
, got the following:

Sorry. The package is broken. I've released a new
package. Could you try again?

Thanks

by package do we mean the VisualRuby package that has the GTK gem 
referenced or to install GTK via homebrew again ?

thanks

homebrew would not reinstall gtk nor gtksourceview i.e. it thinks it has 
the latest installed

I went ahead and re-installed VisualRuby via gem install visualruby

and it went through its process and all native extensions built without 
complaint. However, when I try to to launch vr i.e. via the command line 
, all that happens is that the XQuartz 2.7.4 Server is launched and in 
the shell I get the following errors which seem to be the same as 
previously reported:
