Fails on Mac 10.5 with require

[FrankDMartinez]

Hi,
With even just a basic "require 'green_shoes'" script, a crash of some sort happens. I have reported it to the ruby People at http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5795 but thought I would also cross post here in case the issue is actually green shoes in origin. Any ideas of how to proceed would be welcome.

Thanks.

Umm,...
Sorry, I can't help you. Because I've never used Mac...

I forwarded this issue to Shoes ML. I hope someone Mac user help us.

You compiled this Ruby by hand? Does 1.9.3 even compile on 10.5?

I can't make much out of that crash report, and my personal mac is 10.6.

[FrankDMartinez]

The 1.9.3 ruby is an RVM installation. Yes, it does compile. What information can I provide to help Us get to the bottom of this? I am seeing a similar problem on My 10.7 as well. Although the crash report looks different.

I'm not sure, to be honest. I have a mac, but I maintain Red Shoes; I'm not sure about much of what Green does. It looks like a generic Ruby crash to me. :/

Hello, I have a Mac (albeit it's 10.7) and I can run green_shoes more or less happily with ruby 1.9.3.

It took a bit of doing for me to get the dependencies installed properly, and based on @xuinkrbin's crash log that's my guess as to what the issue is here. I had to do quite a bit of uninstall/reinstalling with homebrew to get the pango stack working properly, and I definitely hit a couple of hard crashes as I was working through it.

@xuinkrbin - how are you installing gtk+ and pango on your system? if you can, i'd recommend giving homebrew a shot since that worked for me.

let me know what things look like over there and hopefully we can work through this.

Hi Paul,

Hello, I have a Mac (albeit it's 10.7) and I can run green_shoes more
or less happily with ruby 1.9.3.

Wow, great!
Thank you for the help.
Hope you and xuinkrbin will solve the problem on Mac.

Hi, Paul.
I am using MacPorts. I will give Homebrew a try. Thanks!

[FrankDMartinez]

BTW, Paul, after installing gtk+ with Homebrew, did You need to change Your $PATH any or install it to anywhere other than the default location?

@xuinkrbin It's awhile ago now, but I had no real trouble with Green Shoes on 10.5 (PPC Mac). I put the steps I followed in the wiki. I used Macports. I haven't updated to 1.9.3 yet, but it's an available port so I don't foresee any trouble.

FWIW - I did install homebrew normally according to their
instructions, which I believe involves sticking /usr/local/bin at the
beginning of your PATH
