Dear all,

I am trying to use foxGUIb for some graphical application.  
To do this, I first want to write the cm-to-inches conversion  
program that is given in the user’s guide.  
So I have installed Fox,FXRuby, libGUIb and foxGUIb, both under  
Cygwin (last week’s version under Windows XP) and under Aurox  
Linux 11.0 (essentially Redhat’s Linux version of half a year ago).

Now, I have two problems:  
In Cygwin, I get a segmentation fault:

from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/libGUIb14.rb:1034 [BUG]  
segmentation  
fault,  
ruby 1-8-4 (2005-12-24) [i-386 cygwin]

when calling

> ruby foxGUIb.rb .

In Linux, this command starts nicely, and I can proceed in the example  
very nicely up to the point when I want to enter the  
code

```
                            cmLabel.text=(inchesField.text.to_f * 

```

2.54  
).to\_s

into the SELcommand field.  
There’s a cursor appearing, but I can’t enter any text.  
What can be the reason for this ?

Best regards,  
Axel

i don’t know why there currently are segfaults with fxruby on cygwin.

please download and install the latest version of libGUIb. the one you  
have installed contains a bug in FX::RadioGroup that makes event  
editor unsusable. sorry for the inconvenience.

I also tried foxGUIb, and got exactly the same segment fault as yours.  
It isn’t caused by foxGUIb, but by FXRuby1.4.6 on cygwin. Please take a  
look at my previous post:
