Greetings. I’m not sure if this is a bug, or something in my environment. I tried to start as clean as possible. Before I describe my troubleshooting, it seems like “ruby extconf.rb” for pango is creating a BAD rbpangoversion.h file I tried a few versions, and it seemed to break between 0.90.5 and 0.90.6 The generated rbpangoversion.h file contains the following under 0.90.6 … #define PANGO\_MAJOR\_VERSION (2) #define PANGO\_MINOR\_VERSION (0) #define PANGO\_MICRO\_VERSION (0) #define PANGO\_TAG\_VERSION (b7) … Under 0.90.5 it creates … #define PANGO\_MAJOR\_VERSION (1) #define PANGO\_MINOR\_VERSION (28) #define PANGO\_MICRO\_VERSION (1) … On this test machine. I indeed have pango-1.28.1-4.fc14.i686 pango-devel-1.28.1-4.fc14.i686 I’ve seen it do this on other machines too. Where the heck is it getting PANGO\_MAJOR\_VERSION == 2 from? This is from a fairly clean install using the latest ruby-1.9.2-p180.tar.gz and pkg-config-1.0.8.gem for my ruby distro This electronic communication and any attachments may contain confidential and proprietary information of DigitalGlobe, Inc.

Ahh. I think I found the reason why. This comes from ruby-gnome2-all-0.90.8/glib2/lib/mkmf-gnome2.rb … # This is used for the library which doesn’t support version info. def make\_version\_header(app\_name, pkgname, dir = “src”) version = PKGConfig.modversion(pkgname).split(/./) version = “2.0b7”.split(/./) (0…2).each do |v| … What’s that 2.0b7 doing there? It looks like this was introduced between mkmkf-gnome2.rb -r3967 -r4007 ---

In the next coming months I hope to help out alot more. I just “inhertited” a nice chunk of Ruby/GTK code. Something I will be stuck with for awhile. I am more used to dealing with kernel’s and hardware directly. this GUI stuff… hmm… human interaction? :\> But I love Ruby. And Gnome is basically the default GUI evironment on computers these days. So I might as well get and learn it. * * * From: Kouhei S.

Good to hear your there and ok. It was funny, at work(I am in US) I overheard two different “cube units” talking about “I hope Matz is ok” and also “what about the other guys that do…xyz” Oh yes, and I was also wondering… is the power for > **[The source of https://ruby-gnome.github.io/](https://ruby-gnome.github.io/)** > > The source of https://ruby-gnome.github.io/ Going to be stable? Anyways, take care. Keep clear. I had a dream last night that Sir Elton John was leading a party of nuclear surviors through some canyon. That is a good sign right? … hmm Sorry this has nothign to do with gnome2-devel. I just thought a little shinny light would be good. * * * From: Kouhei S.
