Hello,

I just installed the gtk3 gem in mac (also installing the necessary  
libraries with port) and when I require gtk3, there is a segmentation  
fault.

The complete breakdown of the error is as follows:

mindor:Desktop kaipi$ irb

Did I do something wrong while installing? I can’t find much info on  
this,  
given that it’s such a new gem.
