Install ruby gnome on Linux/Mac OS X

Desktop Ruby-Gnome 2
1

Hi, people,

I’m having some troubles by installing ruby/gnome2 thing on Mac OS.
I have downloaded “ruby-gnome2-all-0.16.0.tar.gz”
Than used “ruby extcont.rb” Than “make” and now I get:

In file included from rbglib_i18n.c:15:
/sw/include/glib-2.0/glib/gi18n.h:23:21: error: libintl.h: No such file
or directory
make[2]: *** [rbglib_i18n.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2

SUCCEEDED: NONE
FAILED: glib

The glib is definitely installed. What do i wrong? perhaps somebody
could give me a tip how to install ruby/gnome2 on Mac OS or linux?

I dont have a Mac and I recommend to everyone who can (i.e. younger
people that are quick to learn) to switch to Linux (but to learn too,
some distributions make life harder than easier…)

I compile from source, then the ruby-gnome stuff works fine too. (I use
ruby scripts to aid in compilation)

Btw where exactly is
/sw/include/glib-2.0/glib/gi18n.h
?
This looks like a weird path.

On my Gobolinux install gi18n.h is at
/Programs/Glib/2.14.4/include/glib-2.0/glib/gi18n.h

Glib, atk, pango, cairo, gtk are the most important packages.
Try to make them “sane” (sane insofar that distributions
sometimes cripple stuff, and then you as a user have to
un-cripple it. No idea about Mac though, sorry)
