What version of rubyripper are you using? On what operating system? Are you
using the gtk2 or the commandline interface?

0.5.3 on Debian Etch with the gtk2

Luckily I can not reproduce this. Somebody else would have reported this I 
expect if
such a grave error existed. Are you sure you've installed gtk2 correctly, 
includings
it's dependencies?

It's basically complaining that Gtk::LinkButton is not defined. Well, it should
exist:
http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Gtk%3A%3ALinkButton

Please report if you found the cause of the problem. Anyone else having similar
problems?

I installed the ruby-gnome2 package in Debian, and recompiled.  And I still get 
the
same error.  Any other suggestions?

I have searched google and found no similar problems. But perhaps you can show 
me
what happens if you open up a console and type:

1 -> irb
2 -> require 'gtk2'
3 -> button = Gtk::LinkButton.new('Hello World')

irb(main):001:0> require 'gtk2'

Well, it should say:

irb(main):001:0> require 'gtk2'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> button = Gtk::LinkButton.new('Hello World')
=> #<Gtk::LinkButton:0x7fbb4e456710 ptr=0x101d010>
irb(main):003:0>

I'm using ruby-gtk2-0.16. Perhaps you're using an outdated version?

That appears to be the problem.  Since I'm using Debian Etch (currently 
stable), the
version available of libgtk2-ruby is 0.15.0-1.1etch1.

The version in Lenny (which will become the official stable in the next few 
months or
so) is 0.17.0~rc1-4.  I have a chroot of Lenny, and when I run rubyripper on 
it, it
does not crash at all.

Thanks for your help in solving the problem.
