Hi! I’m new here. My name is Alexandre and this is my first post. Well, I bought a book (here in Brazil, where I live) about Ruby and tryed to follow the steps to add gtk2 interface. I downloaded the ruby-gtk2 on [http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp](http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp) to the root folder (I use Suse linux). Then, I typed “ruby extconf.rb” … : linux-8ky4:~/ruby-gtk2-0.16.0 # ruby extconf.rb extconf.rb: Entering directory `glib' checking for GCC... yes checking for rb_define_alloc_func()... yes checking for rb_block_proc()... yes checking for new allocation framework... yes checking for attribute assignment... yes checking for gobject-2.0... yes checking for gthread-2.0... yes checking for G_PLATFORM_WIN32... no checking for g_spawn_close_id()... no checking for g_thread_init()... yes checking for g_main_depth()... yes checking for g_listenv()... yes checking for rb_check_array_type()... yes checking for rb_exec_recursive()... no checking for yarv.h... no creating glib-enum-types.c creating glib-enum-types.h creating Makefile extconf.rb: Leaving directory 'glib' extconf.rb: Entering directory `gdkpixbuf’ checking for GCC… yes checking for rb\_define\_alloc\_func()… yes checking for rb\_block\_proc()… yes checking for new allocation framework… yes checking for attribute assignment… yes checking for gdk-pixbuf-2.0… yes checking for G\_PLATFORM\_WIN32… no checking for gdk\_pixbuf\_set\_option()… yes checking for gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf-io.h… yes checking for cairo… yes checking for gdk-2.0… yes checking for rb\_cairo.h… no creating Makefile extconf.rb: Leaving directory ‘gdkpixbuf’ extconf.rb: Entering directory `pango' checking for GCC... yes checking for rb_define_alloc_func()... yes checking for rb_block_proc()... yes checking for new allocation framework... yes checking for attribute assignment... yes checking for pango... yes checking for G_PLATFORM_WIN32... no checking for pango_layout_iter_get_type()... yes checking for pango_layout_set_ellipsize()... yes checking for pango_layout_get_font_description()... yes checking for pango_render_part_get_type()... yes checking for pango_attr_strikethrough_color_new()... yes checking for pango_attr_underline_color_new()... yes checking for pango_glyph_item_free()... yes checking for pango_attr_iterator_get_attrs()... yes checking for pango_itemize_with_base_dir()... yes checking for pango_font_family_is_monospace()... yes checking for pangocairo... yes checking for rb_cairo.h... no creating rbpangoversion.h creating Makefile extconf.rb: Leaving directory 'pango' extconf.rb: Entering directory `atk’ checking for GCC… yes checking for rb\_define\_alloc\_func()… yes checking for rb\_block\_proc()… yes checking for new allocation framework… yes checking for attribute assignment… yes checking for atk… yes checking for G\_PLATFORM\_WIN32… no checking for atk\_action\_get\_localized\_name()… yes checking for atk\_hyperlink\_is\_inline()… yes checking for atk\_object\_add\_relationship()… yes checking for atk\_object\_remove\_relationship()… yes checking for atk\_component\_get\_layer()… yes checking for atk\_component\_mdi\_zorder()… no checking for atk\_hyperlink\_is\_selected\_link()… yes checking for atk\_text\_get\_bounded\_ranges()… yes checking for atk\_role\_get\_localized\_name()… yes checking for atk\_text\_clip\_type\_get\_type()… yes checking for atk\_text\_free\_ranges()… yes creating rbatkversion.h creating Makefile extconf.rb: Leaving directory ‘atk’ extconf.rb: Entering directory `gtk’ checking for GCC… yes checking for rb\_define\_alloc\_func()… yes checking for rb\_block\_proc()… yes checking for new allocation framework… yes checking for attribute assignment… yes checking for gthread-2.0… yes checking for gtk±2.0… yes checking for G\_PLATFORM\_WIN32… no checking for target… x11 checking for gtk\_plug\_get\_type()… yes checking for gtk\_socket\_get\_type()… yes checking for pango\_render\_part\_get\_type()… yes checking for XReadBitmapFileData()… yes checking for X11/Xlib.h… yes checking for XGetErrorText()… yes checking for gtk±unix-print-2.0… yes checking for gtk\_print\_unix\_dialog\_get\_type()… yes checking for gtk\_print\_job\_get\_type()… yes checking for gtk\_printer\_get\_type()… yes checking for gtk\_page\_setup\_unix\_get\_type()… no checking for cairo… yes checking for rb\_cairo.h… no creating Makefile extconf.rb: Leaving directory ‘gtk’ * * * ## Target libraries: glib, gdkpixbuf, pango, atk, gtk Done. linux-8ky4:~/ruby-gtk2-0.16.0 # ===================================================================== … and then “make”.

If the gtk2 is very hard to use, what GUI can I use? Thank you, Alexandre.
