The gems are the easiest (only?) way to install ruby-gnome. Just install ruby and type ‘gem install gtk2’. This will also install the GTK dlls. Unfortunately the dlls are duplicated in many places and it takes up a lot of disk space (400 meg if I remember correctly). I have been meaning to fix this but I just don’t have time.

Try to reinstall ruby-gnome2 from the tarball. I guess it is the tarball installation that populated /usr/local/lib/site\_ruby. Check if /usr/local/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/glib2.rb is updated.” do you think i should try to reinstall? if so, should i somehow remove the installation i have just completed? if so, how best to remove it? thanks for getting back- j ugh… -j ---

hi. my version of ruby 1.9.1 is different from yours, not sure if that makes a difference in the install. ubuntu 10.04 ruby 1.9.1p378 (2010-01-10 revision 26273) [i486-linux] in order to paste the output of the sudo make install command, i’ll have to reinstall the gnome2-all tarball - should i somehow uninstall it first? glib2 installed nicely during the build, not sure if it was there ‘first’ or not, but i believe so. irb returns “true” on ‘require glib2’ - i simply ran ‘ruby extconf.rb’ from inside the untarred ruby-gnome2-all-0.90.8 directory, and let the thing do its work. - j ---
