Hi,

since the last update I get some really ugly warning  
messages just when I call ‘require “gtk2”’ (see below).

I’m using Gentoo. I upgraded from ruby-glib2-0.14.1 to  
-0.15.0 but that did not help. I reinstalled glib–nothing  
is getting better.

Any hints? Thanks in advance.

Bertram

Use CVS version of Ruby/GLib.

I didn’t guess it is so easy.

Thanks.
