i installed 0.15.0, and when requiring gtk2 i get the following error:

Exception `LoadError' at /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:35 - no such file to load -- cairo /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/glib2.rb: line 55 GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **:g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion `g\_type\_from\_name (name) == 0’ failed  
Aborted

there is no cairo in ruby-gnome2-all-0.15.0, so i don’t get this.

i searched the net, and found on this thread  
[http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-perl-list/2005-December/msg00012.html](http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-perl-list/2005-December/msg00012.html)  
that there is a libgnomecanvas problem. my libgnomecanvas did not  
change, it’s 2.14.0:  
[http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libgnomecanvas/2.14/](http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libgnomecanvas/2.14/)

i use gentoo, gtk±2.10.1, gnome-desktop-2.15.92
