Hello People,

I tried to install Ruby GTK using the following command on my Ubuntu:

$ sudo gem install gtk2

and it spits out some error as shown:

Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing gtk2:
  ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/usr/local/ruby/bin/ruby extconf.rb

checking for attribute assignment... no
checking for Win32 OS... no
checking for gobject-2.0... no

How to fix it?

Hi, you might need some extra libraries to build this gem, gobject-2.0 for example.extconf.rb have not found gobject-2.0.
install all dependencies and try again

Try the following command:

  % sudo aptitude install -y libgtk2.0-dev
  % sudo gem install gtk2

Thanks,

Hi.
It's probably missing the Ubuntu GTK2 developer packages.
