Hi,

I’ve just installed ruby-gnome 0.16 but it give me some problems with  
libglade.

If you have a project with more than one window and only pharse a part  
of the XML-tree it throws this error message:

/usr/local/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/libglade2.rb:105:in `guard_source_from_gc': undefined method`signal\_connect’ for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)  
from /usr/local/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/libglade2.rb:98:in  
`guard_sources_from_gc' from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/libglade2.rb:97:in`guard\_sources\_from\_gc’  
from bla.rb:8:in `initialize’  
from bla.rb:18

I’ve attached a simple example.

Cheers  
detlef

Thanks for reporting. I’ve fixed in CVS.

If you can’t wait next Ruby/Libglade2, you have a workaround  
for this problem:

require ‘libglade2’

class GladeXML  
alias\_method :guard\_source\_from\_gc\_without\_nil\_check,  
:guard\_source\_from\_gc  
def guard\_source\_from\_gc(source)  
return if source.nil?  
guard\_source\_from\_gc\_without\_nil\_check(source)  
end  
end

## Thanks,

kou
