Anyone Willing to install Visualruby on a MAC?

Desktop Ruby-Gnome 2

Hi:

I’m looking for someone who owns a MAC and is willing to help me with
visualruby. I’d like to make sure that my install instructions are
correct.

If you own a MAC and install visualruby, please let me know if my
install instructions are still good. If not, please post a list of
correct install instructions. It should be these steps:

  1. install glade
  2. perhaps install gtksourceview3 ?
  3. gem install visualruby

I’d like to update my webpage so noobies can understand.

Just post here.

Also, I’d like to get a screenshot on the MAC. I’m sure there’s a
“print screen” button. Then post the image.

Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric

I did install it on MAC and it doesn’t seem to work.

I get the following error when I attempt to start the program with the
command ‘vr’:
Typelib file for namespace ‘GtkSource’ (any version) not found
(GLib::Error)

Any ideas?

I had VR successfully running on my 10.11.6 Mac for the last two weeks
successfully, though with some occasional Glade crashes when clicking on
certain UI elements. I don’t have the exact method I used to get it
running, as I had to brew install just about everything i could think
of. Specifically, I know I installed gtk+, gtk+3, gtksourceview,
gtksourceview3

However, it stopped working at the end of last week. Now I get an
assertion failed crash every time Glade tries to load with the following
error:

Gtk:ERROR:gtkiconhelper.c:493:ensure_surface_for_gicon: assertion
failed: (destination)
Abort trap: 6

I’ve uninstalled every gem and package down to nothing and reinstalled
to no avail.

Any ideas?

I got this running again today. Somehow. I can’t tell you the exact
process as i’ve uninstalled and reinstalled things so many times, but
below are what is installed (ruby. brew. and gem) that has it working:
