([ruby-dev:34093]) We need to more works for ruby 1.9 but I think it will be done in a release after the next release. # Here is a small workaround: Index: glib/src/rbgobject.c — glib/src/rbgobject.c (revision 3213) +++ glib/src/rbgobject.c (working copy) @@ -331,8 +331,11 @@ g\_free(buf); } - if (source-\>len \> 0) - if (source-\>len \> 0) { - ``` g_string_prepend(source, "self.module_eval do\n"); ``` - ``` g_string_append(source, "\nend"); rb_funcall(klass, id_module_eval, 1, rb_str_new2(source->str)); ``` - } g\_string\_free(source, TRUE); } ## Thanks, kou ---

> if i work this around i’m gonna hit more like this? I am not exactly sure where you are heading, but you are aware that ruby-1.9 in itself can be considered unstable or experimental right now? It will take some time for people to bring everything up to shape, but if you are using unstable versions already then you should expect things to not work here or there more readily. I think even Rails does not work with ruby 1.9 ---

It affects other methods too. You will find some of them by running ruby1.9 with -w option. ## Thanks, kou
