I have downloaded the source of ruby 1.6 and its associated packages
from Woody, compiled it on my Potato system and installed it.
libgtk-ruby and libgnome-ruby work only partially.
When I try to run ruby on some libgtk examples, the following happens
(also with about any other libgtk-test program):
--------------------------
$ruby test1.rb
test1.rb:44: uninitialized constant CAN_DEFAULT (NameError)
$ruby drawing.rb
drawing.rb:32: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.6.2 (2000-11-27) [i486-linux]
Aborted
---------------------------------------------
ruby helloworld.rb works.
On libgnome-ruby I had a little more success. However there are also
problems:
---------------------------------
$ruby app-helper.rb
app-helper.rb:85: parse error
app-helper.rb:114: parse error
Gnome::App::PIXMAP_STOCK, Gnome::Stock::PIXMAP_BOOK_RED, 0, 0, ni; ],
^
app-helper.rb:117: parse error
etc.
----------------------------------
When I try to run some other test programs from libgnome-ruby, nothing
happens and there are no error messages.
I must mention that I installed some helix gnome packages from Storm
Linux. Actually I just installed Storm's package system and the helix
packages came with it as part of the dependencies.
Other information:
$gtk-config --version
1.2.8
I an a ruby newbie and would like to explore libgtk-ruby and
libgnome-ruby on my potato system.
I hope somebody can help me to get it going.
