hi: I need a volunteer who’s familiar with installing gtk stuff on a MAC. I’m trying to get my friend to install visualruby on his MAC but it just hangs. I’m not sure if its due to missing components or not. If anyone is working on a MAC, please try to install visualruby, and let me know how you get it working so I can inform my friend and other how to install it on a MAC. > **[hi合乐888在线登录 - hi合乐手机网页版](http://www.visualruby.net/)** > > ♠欢迎点击hi合乐888在线登录,hi合乐手机网页版早就成为了世界性的强大娱乐平台,hi合乐888在线登录提供最新、最好玩、最全的单机游戏中文版下载、资讯、攻略、补丁,致力成为行业风向标。 As far as I know. the steps are: Use Ruby version 1.9.3 1. Install glade interface designer version 3.6.7 - 3.8 (this should install gtk2 too) 2. Install getsourceview2.0-dev 3. gem install visualruby Thanks, Eric C ---

I’ve posted install instructions for the MAC on my website. Also, I officially released visualruby version 0.1.0 today. > **[hi合乐888在线登录 - hi合乐手机网页版](http://www.visualruby.net/)** > > ♠欢迎点击hi合乐888在线登录,hi合乐手机网页版早就成为了世界性的强大娱乐平台,hi合乐888在线登录提供最新、最好玩、最全的单机游戏中文版下载、资讯、攻略、补丁,致力成为行业风向标。 Thanks, Eric ---

I was able to install on Ubuntu, however, my old libglade stuff stopped working, after I installed Ruby 1.9.3, though it also used to be broken but at least libglade2 existed, which is now gone!?!?
