For anyone else who wants to play around with the examples in the gtk2  
section of The Ruby Way, but ran into some issues, here’s the info you  
might  
need.  
I found this page, and followed the directions:

[http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Install+Guide+for+Windows](http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Install+Guide+for+Windows)

I followed the troubleshooting steps, and when that didn’t work a Google  
search of “GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*:” (which was one of the errors I was  
getting) and that led me to this comment by agenteo on the mailing list:  
[http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/225568](http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/225568)

agenteo’s solution works 🙂  
curiously, I couldn’t find it via the ruby kitchen sink searching by  
“gtk2  
install windows more:mailing-lists”
