I am very eager basically excited to use VisualRuby unfortunately: went thru the entire homebrew , gtk , vr install , and it all seemed to have installed ok, but when I tried to launch vr I got the following process:53754): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*: gtype.c:2720: You forgot to call g\_type\_init() (process:53754): GLib-CRITICAL \*\*: void g\_once\_init\_leave(volatile void \*, gsize): assertion `result != 0’ failed (process:53754): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*: gtype.c:2720: You forgot to call g\_type\_init() (process:53754): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*: gtype.c:2720: You forgot to call g\_type\_init() (process:53754): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*: gtype.c:2720: You forgot to call g\_type\_init() (process:53754): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*: void g\_type\_add\_interface\_static(GType, GType, const GInterfaceInfo \*): assertion `G\_TYPE\_IS\_INSTANTIATABLE (instance\_type)’ failed (process:53754): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*: gtype.c:2720: You forgot to call g\_type\_init() (process:53754): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*: void g\_type\_interface\_add\_prerequisite(GType, GType): assertion `G\_TYPE\_IS\_INTERFACE (interface\_type)’ failed (process:53754): GLib-CRITICAL \*\*: void g\_once\_init\_leave(volatile void \*, gsize): assertion `result != 0’ failed (process:53754): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*: void g\_type\_add\_interface\_static(GType, GType, const GInterfaceInfo \*): assertion `G\_TYPE\_IS\_INSTANTIATABLE (instance\_type)’ failed (process:53754): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*: gtype.c:2720: You forgot to call g\_type\_init() what do I need to do ? thanks ---

The package is broken. I’ve released a new package. Could you try again? ## Thanks kou ---

first of all I should mention that on my Mac attempt that X11 starts when I try to run VR. I had to install X11 to install and run a diagramming app called DIA. so I also tried on a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit installation , followed all the steps which provided no error output and then attempted to launch vr , got the following: ruby 1.9.3p392 (2013-02-22) [i386-mingw32] C:\Users\Charles M.\>vr C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:60:in `require': 126: The specified module could not be found. - C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1 /gems/glib2-1.2.2-x86-mingw32/lib/glib2.so (LoadError) from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:60:i n`rescue in require’ from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:35:i n `require' from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/glib2-1.2.2-x86-mingw32/lib/gli b2.rb:100:in`rescue in \’ from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/glib2-1.2.2-x86-mingw32/lib/gli b2.rb:96:in `' from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:i n`require’ from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:36:i n `require' from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/gtk2-1.2.2-x86-mingw32/lib/gtk2 /base.rb:12:in`\’ from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:36:i n `require' from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:i n`require’ from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/gtk2-1.2.2-x86-mingw32/lib/gtk2 .rb:11:in `' from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:i n`require’ from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:36:i n `require' from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/visualruby-0.1.2/vr:5:in`\’ from C:/Ruby193/bin/vr:23:in `load' from C:/Ruby193/bin/vr:23:in`’ C:\Users\Charles M.\> ---

by package do we mean the VisualRuby package that has the GTK gem referenced or to install GTK via homebrew again ? thanks ---

homebrew would not reinstall gtk nor gtksourceview i.e. it thinks it has the latest installed I went ahead and re-installed VisualRuby via gem install visualruby and it went through its process and all native extensions built without complaint. However, when I try to to launch vr i.e. via the command line , all that happens is that the XQuartz 2.7.4 Server is launched and in the shell I get the following errors which seem to be the same as previously reported: monteiro:~ charles$ vr (process:11910): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*: gtype.c:2720: You forgot to call g\_type\_init() (process:11910): GLib-CRITICAL \*\*: void g\_once\_init\_leave(volatile void \*, gsize): assertion `result != 0’ failed (process:11910): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*: gtype.c:2720: You forgot to call g\_type\_init() (process:11910): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*: gtype.c:2720: You forgot to call g\_type\_init() (process:11910): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*: gtype.c:2720: You forgot to call g\_type\_init() (process:11910): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*: void g\_type\_add\_interface\_static(GType, GType, const GInterfaceInfo \*): assertion `G\_TYPE\_IS\_INSTANTIATABLE (instance\_type)’ failed (process:11910): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*: gtype.c:2720: You forgot to call g\_type\_init() (process:11910): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*: void g\_type\_interface\_add\_prerequisite(GType, GType): assertion `G\_TYPE\_IS\_INTERFACE (interface\_type)’ failed (process:11910): GLib-CRITICAL \*\*: void g\_once\_init\_leave(volatile void \*, gsize): assertion `result != 0’ failed (process:11910): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*: void g\_type\_add\_interface\_static(GType, GType, const GInterfaceInfo \*): assertion `G\_TYPE\_IS\_INSTANTIATABLE (instance\_type)’ failed (process:11910): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*: gtype.c:2720: You forgot to call g\_type\_init()
