Hi,

if you want to create widgets from a GladeXML::BUFFER it gives you the  
following error message:

det@datengrab:~/Desktop$ ruby rubydatei.rb  
/usr/local/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/libglade2.rb:85:in `readlines': can't convert nil into String (TypeError) from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/libglade2.rb:85:in `build\_names’  
from /usr/local/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/libglade2.rb:55:in  
`widget_names' from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/libglade2.rb:97:in `guard\_sources\_from\_gc’  
from rubydatei.rb:18:in `initialize' from rubydatei.rb:18:in `new’  
from rubydatei.rb:18

Here is the example program:

#!/usr/bin/ruby

require ‘libglade2’  
require ‘gtk2’

class Win \< Gtk::Window  
idata = ‘  
  
True  
0.5  
0.5  
0  
0  
  
’

glade = GladeXML.new idata, ‘image’, nil, GladeXML::BUFFER  
image = glade[‘image’]  
self.add image  
self.default\_size 200, 200  
end

win = Win.new  
win.show\_all  
Gtk.main
