Hi everyone,

I just watched the video for booh ([http://zarb.org/~gc/html/booh.html](http://zarb.org/~gc/html/booh.html))  
and installed booh afterwards. Now it doesn’t run, it says

/usr/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/booh/booh-lib.rb:25:in `require’: no such  
file to load – gettext (LoadError)  
from /usr/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/booh/booh-lib.rb:25  
from /usr/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/booh/GtkAutoTable.rb:22  
from /usr/bin/booh:28

I’m running gentoo, so I just checked and I have ruby-gettext 1.0.0  
installed. What’s going on here?

Happy rubying,  
Guido
