Hi, unfortunately, the API reference at [http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Ruby-GNOME2+API+Reference](http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Ruby-GNOME2+API+Reference) is not always accessible for me. At the same time, I appear to be unable to locate an offline-version of the API-reference. The link to the “GNOME 2.0 API Reference” at [http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/](http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/) which is found on top of the cited page is also disfunctional. Question: Can you point me at a downloadable, possibly compressed issue of the “Ruby-GNOME2 API Reference” or tell me otherwise, how to procede? I am programming tiny tools and use Gtk2 to create meager GUIs to otherwise terminal-based applications. Gtk appears to be ideal for the purpose. If you are interested in my frugal attempts, see on sourceforge: “Crème Fraiche” or the other results of my struggle against the computer on my web-site: www.uplawski.eu. Presently I am fixing bugs and preparing the new GUI to “Crème Fraiche”. Thanks for your help, even where I haven’t asked. Michael U. ---

Hi Michael: I know they have a tarball on their site, but I didn’t find it to be very readable. I usually slog through their site. It would be nice to have the whole thing on disk. I’ve downloaded your program, but I don’t see how to run the GUI part. I don’t know what you want to do with this program, but I have some suggestins: 1. The install can be easier. You can simply install all the GTk packages, then install your program as a gem. When your gem installs you can make the dependencies of prawn and gtk2. That will make the prawn gem and the gtk2 bindings install automatically. Also, you can have your gem install as an executable, so the user will just have to type “gem install cremefraiche” and then they can just type the command “cremefraiche” at the command prompt and it will work. 1. You can eliminate a huge amount of your code by using my IDE, visualruby: > **[hi合乐888在线登录 - hi合乐手机网页版](http://www.visualruby.net/)** > > ♠欢迎点击hi合乐888在线登录,hi合乐手机网页版早就成为了世界性的强大娱乐平台,hi合乐888在线登录提供最新、最好玩、最全的单机游戏中文版下载、资讯、攻略、补丁,致力成为行业风向标。 You can build your forms using the glade interface designer, and make your program only contain ruby logic. 1. I’d suggest making your config file into a class that you dump onto disk using yaml. Yours, Eric ---

Thanks Eric for all suggestions. Since I quit professional “Software” Development, I confess, that planning and “design” have not been any of my priorities in my private “projects” (to say the least).
