Hi, 2013/9/21 Max M. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid): > [http://www.ruby-forum.com/attachment/8737/visualerror.txt](http://www.ruby-forum.com/attachment/8737/visualerror.txt) This error occurred in `gem install gtksourceview2`.

Thanks for that i tried that step but it was the path change which finally made it install. While the Gem has installed when i run the VR command i now get the error i have pasted below /Users/maxmarriott/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p247/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core\_ext/kernel\_require.rb:51:in `require': cannot load such file -- rubygems/builder (LoadError) from /Users/maxmarriott/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p247/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:51:in`require’ from /Users/maxmarriott/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/gems/visualruby-0.1.2/vr:15:in `' from /Users/maxmarriott/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/bin/vr:23:in`load’ from /Users/maxmarriott/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/bin/vr:23:in `

Oh, thank you! > While the Gem has installed when i run the VR command i now get the > error i have pasted below Umm, VisualRuby does not seem to work on Ruby 2.0.0. Can you try it on Ruby 1.9.3? – Masafumi Y. GitHub: myokoym ---

Is there any plan to port VR to Ruby-2? If so then is there any idea when this might happen? ---

And there we have it. After I installed 1.9.2 and set it to default and reinstalled VR using the method you suggested above it appears to be working Thank you very much ---

There is work being done to VR both IDE and Library, to work with Ruby 2.0. I’ve started the work at [Bitbucket](http://bitbucket.org/visualruby/ide) and [http://bitbucket.org/visualruby/core](http://bitbucket.org/visualruby/core), but I haven’t had a chance to work on it as of late. Though I do wish to continue working on it. Sadly, it’s just me that is working on it at this time. Anyone wanting to help out is more then happy to contact me off-list, and we can discuss what needs to be done. But for now, the core library has been renamed to vr-corelib, which can be installed via gem right now, ‘gem install vr-corelib’ Then you can grab the IDE from Git right now, and install it. It works pretty good right now, shouldn’t have any issues with it crashing on you out of no-where, but there are some features not currently implemented in the Git version, that you currently get with the Gem version that is available right now.
