foxGUIb & ruby 1.8.5 spewing hundreds of errors at launch ti

Ruby
1

Greetings all,

I decided to step up to Ruby 1.8.5 today. After installing 1.8.5, I
completely uninstalled and reinstalled fox (1.6.16), fxscintilla
(1.71), FXRuby (1.6.3), and foxGUIb (0.7.1), which all worked perfectly
for me with Ruby 1.8.4 as did foxGUIb. So, when I launch foxGUIb now I
get literally hundreds of error messages (see below), although foxGUIb
does ultimately come up. Anyone know what I’m missing or did wrong?
Perhaps foxGUIb v0.7.1 is not “certified” on Ruby 1.8.5 (I googled this
and searched all the other likely suspects but didn’t find anything.)

Thanks in advance for any help you can lend!

Ken

This is a known bug in Ruby 1.8.5; see:

http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&aid=5701&group_id=426&atid=1698

Hope this helps,

Until the 1.8.5 bug is fixed, just precede the “require” with: $VERBOSE
= nil

example:
$VERBOSE = nil # ruby 1.8.5 bug work-around
require ‘fox12’
$VERBOSE = true

Thanks to all - much appreciated.
