[solved] ruby-vte error

Joel · 2014-08-15 22:12:40

I'm the new owner of the package ruby-vte, the package creation is fine, but when I try a single test code:

#!/usr/bin/ruby

require 'gtk2'
require 'vte'

w = Gtk::Window.new
t = Vte::Terminal.new
w.set_title "Ruby Terminal"
w.signal_connect("destroy") do
  Gtk.main_quit
end
t.signal_connect("child-exited") do
 Gtk.main_quit
end
w.add t
w.show_all
Gtk.main

it returns this errors:

/usr/lib/ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/dependency.rb:298:in `to_specs': Could not find 'gtk2' (= 2.2.0) among 11 total gem(s) (Gem::LoadError)

	from test.rb:4:in `<main>'

...And most users can't be arsed to put in the effort. Your non-answer - referring to an external source which will change further over time - is useless and leaves this thread incomplete.

Meh. It works for me. As it was, I really did not know what had happened. At least now, readers will know it was rolled into the AUR solution.

The reason I gave the response I did was that the forum is searchable through either the built in functions or an external site like Google. Someone else who is having a similar issue, say six months from now, might stumble on this thread - which is marked [Solved] - and enter it looking for information that might pertain to the problem they themselves have. The prescribed solution to this thread is to examine the PKGBUILD. In six months time that PKGBUILD is likely to have changed rendering the future searcher back to square one. This thread is an opportunity to document in plain English what went wrong and how it was actually resolved, instead there is a pointer to an evolving and likely not well commented PKGBUILD.
