Hi wxRuby 1.9.7 is now available from rubyforge. This release is mainly to restore one-step gem installation for Windows users, so they can easily benefit from the many enhancements and fixes that were included in 1.9.6. The gem will now install Microsoft''s VC version 8.0 dlls. As usual ''gem install wxruby'' should get you the latest version. For users on Linux and OS X, there are only minimal changes. The ChangeLog for this version is: - Restored Grid#set_col_label_text_orientation method (AF) - Fixed linking to wx_media with different wx build flavours on OS X (AF) - Fixed misnaming of Wx::NULL_ANIMATION constant (AF) - Added bundling of MSVC80 dlls for windows gem (AF) - Added a drag and drop / clipboard sample (AF) alex

But immediately afterwards gem stopped working! In fact every program connected to ruby does no longer work! C:\>gem list Das angegebene Programm kann nicht ausgef?hrt werden. C:\>ruby --version Das angegebene Programm kann nicht ausgef?hrt werden. C:\>irb Das angegebene Programm kann nicht ausgef?hrt werden. Translation: This program can not be executed. Any idea why and what I can do to restore my ruby? Dirk

Are you using the one-click installer ruby? sorry for the trouble alex

After deleting the two files ruby, rubygems and irb started working again. But, I''m sorry to report, wxruby does not. When I start any sample, I get the following error message: ====Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error! Program: C:\Programme\ruby\bin\ruby.exe R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application''s support team for more information. ====> Are you using the one-click installer ruby?Yes. I installed with One-Click Ruby Installer 186-26 Final Release: C:\>ruby --version ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32] Maybe it would be better to retract the gem before you get flooded with complaints. Hope this helps Dirk

The manifests fix that on two systems I''ve tried it on, and others have confirmed it. But clearly not working for you, and I''ve no idea why.>> Are you using the one-click installer ruby? >> > > Yes. > I installed with One-Click Ruby Installer 186-26 Final Release: > C:\>ruby --version > ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32] > > Maybe it would be better to retract the gem before you get flooded with > complaints.I have done. I was uncomfortable anyway with having the gem installer adjust global ruby settings, but it would have been worth it if it worked reliably. Sorry for the trouble anyway. I''m SO fed up with this situation. We put months of work into improving the library, then can''t share those improvements with the majority of Windows users. alex
I haven''t got access to this at home, but I did get wxruby 1.9.6 working on windows XP, by following the instructions about installing the dll''s and moving the manifests given under the ''FIX for wxruby-1.9.6 on Windows'' thread on this mailing list. I didn''t do much beyond check whether it worked, though. I have found installing on Linux is not universally successful. I run into the ''GLIBC_2.4 not found'' error when installing 1.9.7 on a Debian system (I particularly want to use this on my Asus Eee). A bit of searching on the internet doesn''t show any quick solution. Is this something that could be fixed in the distributed gem? I may try compiling wxruby myself when I get a chance. Then again, it seems to work very well on Ubuntu 8. I do get occasional crashes or freezes, which are perhaps more due to my ignorance. I shall post an example in a separate thread. Peter.
