Green shoes on archlinux x64 error

luislavena · September 7, 2011, 5:40pm

ok, so i brought this up in the shoes ML, and they suggested i ask here.
apparently there are other people using x64 linux-es and it works fine.
so
anyway, when i run my little green_shoes app (which runs fine on my
32bit
computer) i get the following error:

any ideas? ruby-gtk seems to be installed fine… i’m not sure what
else to
check.

Other than the fact Linux has a cool name, could someone explain why I
should use Linux over BSD?

No. That’s it. The cool name, that is. We worked very hard on
creating a name that would appeal to the majority of people, and it
certainly paid off: thousands of people are using linux just to be able
to say “OS/2? Hah. I’ve got Linux. What a cool name”. 386BSD made the
mistake of putting a lot of numbers and weird abbreviations into the
name, and is scaring away a lot of people just because it sounds too
technical.

Hi hex,

when i run my little green_shoes app (which runs fine on my 32bit
computer) i get the following error:
(snip)

ruby-gtk seems to be installed fine
Oh, I see.
I’d like to run your app (spaceship_earth.rb?). Can I get your code?

here is the code:

github.com

serialhex/fun-stuff/blob/master/spaceship_earth/spaceship_earth.rb

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

# spiffy program to find out how far you travel in a given amount of time
# until i create an input parser, import the SOB into irb & work on it in there
# or dont, i'm just saying...
#
# btw, this is not incredibly accurate as we're traveling at a little over 29km/sec
# through space, and i haven't taken into account things like a stellar day
# (the length of a day with the stars being in the same place is  ~4 mins shy of a 24hr day)
# ones altitude, the eccentricity of earths orbit around the sun, it's axial tilt, and other
# such factors, so i highly recommend *AGAINST* using this for precice measurements, i.e.
# astrology, the predicting of omens, finding your "one true love", or finding the safest place
# to be when quetzacoatyl comes back (btw, that's Time.new(2012, 12, 22) if you want to figure out
# how far you are going to travel before the world ends...)

# for the shoes version: https://github.com/ivanoblomov/google_maps_geocoder
# and for to package as a gem: http://guides.rubygems.org/make-your-own-gem/

require 'mathn'
require 'google_maps_geocoder'

This file has been truncated. show original

it runs fine on my 32-bit computer… though it’s not nearly finished
(the
UI anyway, the SpaceshipEarth class is) and needs to be cleaned up and
whatnot, it should run without much of a problem. let me know what you
think (of the 64-bit problem & the code itself )

unfortunately, i am not at my x64 computer today (it’s at work, i’m not)
so
i’ll have to try tomorrow. though like i said, it runs fine on my
32-bit
linux boxes… but i’ll give that a whirl tomorrow.

ps. I cloned serialhex/fun-stuff and ran spaceship_earth.rb on my Windows
7.
It worked well.

Hi hex,

I doubt of installing gtk2 again.

So, could you confirm the following?

just open IRB
input require 'gtk2'
get => true

I guess you’ll get some error messages.

so it has something to do with gtk… idk what the problem is,
anyone have any ideas?? i’ve tried recompiling but to no avail

this makes me sad
