Hi all,

this patch against svn head allowed me to build Ruby-GNOME2 with Ruby  
1.9.1. I have played around with it a bit in irb - simple windows and  
buttons and stuff - and it seems to work.

Is that likely to be it, or are there more subtle failures lurking?

thanks,  
Dan

I can build without the patch. Could you show your build log  
without the patch?

You may need to re-run extconf.rb to define correct HAVE\_\*  
macros.

I used “ruby 1.9.1p0 (2009-01-30 revision 21907) [x86\_64-linux]”  
on Debian GNU/Linux sid.

## Thanks,

kou

OK I just tried with that revision of Ruby 1.9.1 and it built fine.  
When I get back into work I’ll see what version I was using there,  
check the extconf thing, and send in the output if it’s still bad.

thanks,  
Dan
