ruby-gtk2 issue

[thwaller]

When I attempt to run rrip_gui, I get the following output:

The ruby-gtk2 library could not be found. Is it installed?

When I check this package, I get the following:

ruby-gtk2 is already the newest version (3.1.8-6ubuntu1).

I am running Ubuntu 17.10, all updates up to date on a weekly basis at a minimum.

Hi, sorry for the late reply, It looks some other people might have the same problem...

Can you try this solution? https://askubuntu.com/questions/984648/location-of-ruby-gtk2-library-files-moved-in-17-10

I will try to improve the code in question to display the original failure message in order to help diagnosing the problem in the future.

Thanks for the reply. I have checked on this today and found it is working now. I read the link you provided and have found that the package ruby-cairo-gobject is installed, so I am thinking that maybe in the last month it was installed, thus resolving the problem. I do not recall installing it, but I did a lot of software updates, installs and changes for audio encoders and analyzers and similar.

For me this is closed, but I will leave open for your closure decision as you have added a self assignment.

I can confirm that installing ruby-cairo-gobject solved / worked around this issue.

Btw, before installating ruby-cairo-gobject, this was the output of the ./configure:

$ ./configure --enable-lang=en,sk --enable-gtk2 --enable-cli --prefix=/usr

But still, I could not install rubyripper successfully. See the output in rubyripper_make_install_output.txt.

[thwaller]

@tukusejssirs - that looks like the issue is not using sudo prior to make install.

So you should run: $ sudo make install

Also, most of your [NOT OK] items are expected, all except cd-info. You will want to install that package. The normalizing packages have changed some, and I assume the dev needs to update some things to accommodate. For me though, I do not normalize, ever, when ripping, so it is no matter to me... but would be nice to see OK.

[tukusejssirs]

Well, then I did it with and without sudo, too, but none of them worked (at least seamingly).

And I understood it well what [NOT OK] meant. The list programs are just optional dependencies. ;)

Still, I’ve just run make clean && ./configure --enable-lang=en --enable-gtk2 --enable-cli --prefix=/usr && sudo make install and it worked. Thanks. :)
