Please edit the thread title to include the package name.

If you check gruler's AUR page, you will see that this error has already been noted there. However, the package is currently orphaned, so I would suggest you contact the upstream developer for assistance.

OK. mail sent. Let's see if he's still available. It's a great utility. (Sorry new to Arch 2 days old)

Re: [SOLVED]gruler installed but wouldn't start

The following edit to /usr/share/gruler/gruler.rb fixed it for me:

class GladeXML
   def guard_source_from_gc(source)
      return if source.nil?
      guard_source_from_gc_without_nil_check(source)
   end
   alias_method :guard_source_from_gc_without_nil_check, 
:guard_source_from_gc
end

Submit a patch to the dev with that fix.

Re: [SOLVED]gruler installed but wouldn't start

Previous problem solved but after certain updates it's broke again.
This time it's another error message

$ gruler
Loading libraries...
<internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require': no such file to load -- ruler_window (LoadError)
    from <internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require'
    from /usr/share/gruler/utils/addons_ruby.rb:51:in `block in require'
    from /usr/share/gruler/utils/addons_ruby.rb:51:in `each'
    from /usr/share/gruler/utils/addons_ruby.rb:51:in `require'
    from /usr/share/gruler/gruler.rb:48:in `<main>'

Hi, tomk and markz79 can either of you do the magic and solve this again ?
