Hi

I already installed VisualRuby follwing the instructions

brew install gtk+

brew install gtksourceview

gem install visualruby

But when I select some example or try to open a new project, then the  
window close and I receive in the command prompt the following

/Users/jdominguez/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.1@global/gems/gtk2-2.2.0/lib/gtk2.rb:

And that’s it, vr doesn’t run,

Anybody have any idea what is happening??

Thanks in advance
