Hello, I need a simple UI library for a simple project (an UI simple to  
program). It must be multiplatform and easy to bundle with that small  
app.

Which one would feet my needs ?

- I’ve found ruby-tk beeing quite easy to understand but unfortunately  
is no more bundled with ruby.
- I’ve gived up with ruby Gnome 2, at least I didn’t understand how to  
install gnome OR its ruby binding on a Win32 platform
- I didn’t tried the others (wxWidgets, QT)

Thanks

FXRuby ([http://www.fxruby.org/](http://www.fxruby.org/)) might feet your needs. It is included  
with the One-Click Ruby Installer for Windows.

I like QTRuby … however, it’s very large and full-featured.

the ruby-gnome2 web site explains that (under windows one does not  
install the gnome, just gtk2 runtime):

[http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Install+Guide+for+Windows](http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Install+Guide+for+Windows)

i found gtk2 + glade interface builder good (under windows and linux)  
but i am just starting (wrote few sample applications pulling data from  
postgresql and displaying it as a table).
