Make sure to check out fxruby ([http://www.fxruby.org/](http://www.fxruby.org/)).

I’ve used it a while ago for a small multi-platform (lin and win) tool  
and found it to be very easy to install and with a very small learning  
curve. I just looked at some examples and was able to start using it  
right away. Most things just worked as expected.

Yeah, I tried several one yesterday night and at least this one was very  
easy to install (gem install), documentation is very clear and the lib  
is easy to use…

Thanks
