I’m running Ruby 1.8.4 (installed via darwinports) on OS 10.4 with gtk 2.8.12 (installed via darwinports) and ruby-gnome2 0.14.1 (configured using extconf.rb and installed in the /opt/local location of ruby). When I run a simple button test program I get the following message: gtktest.rb: line 1 GLib-GObject-WARNING \*\*:Two different plugins tried to register ‘BasicEngineFc’. gtktest.rb: line 1 GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*:g\_object\_new: assertion `G\_TYPE\_IS\_OBJECT (object\_type)’ failed Failed to load Pango module for id: 'BasicScriptEngineFc’gtktest.rb: line 1 The test program still seems to run despite this message. I’m new to Ruby, so if someone could help me out, I would really appreciate it. Getting a Ruby GUI to work on a Mac is incredibly frustrating. Thanks, John ---

It’s very difficult not to check your gtktest.rb… But I think these messages are occured by Pango(not by Ruby-GNOME2). I suspect gtk-demo occurs same error. If so, could you re-install pango and then re-compile ruby-gnome2? ---

I reinstalled pango and gtk2, then recompiled ruby-gnome2 and still got the same exact error. Thanks, John ---
