Not starting on Ubuntu 10.10 / Ruby 1.9.2

[rubencaro]

I just installed arcadia as a gem. Also installed tk_as_gem, ruby-debug19 and coderay gems. tcl/tk version 8.3 on my system. Ubuntu 10.10 with rvm and Ruby1.9.2.

When I run 'arcadia' one small 100x100px window quickly appears and disappears, and my cpu goes to 100%.

yeah with ruby 1.9.2 I've seen this when tk apps exit. Maybe you could install tk through ubuntu packages, re-install ruby?

there are other problems on ubuntu that I will fix in next 0.10.0 . But tcl tk 8.3 isn't supported. Is there a reason for not swiching to >=8.4 version ?

fixed

[rubencaro]

Sorry, not fixed.
On the old 10.10 system didn't got it to work.

@rdp what you mean by 'install tk through ubuntu packages'? That's the way I did it, I guess. I installed tk, tcl, tk-dev and tk-dev packages.

Still getting the same behaviour on brand new (not updated) Ubuntu 11.04, rvm 1.6.18, ruby 1.9.2, tk 8.4, tk_as_gem 0.1, arcadia 0.10.

Thank you guys.

I just figured it out !

The problem was to put the right compiling options needed to support tk from ruby when installing from rvm. http://beginrescueend.com/integration/tk/

Fixed !

Thanks again.

To get RVM working with Tk you will need ActiveState's Tcl/Tk distribution. You will then need to reinstall your RVM Ruby to take advantage of Tk.
For instance, to do this with Ruby 1.9.2 you would do something like this:

rvm install 1.9.2 --enable-pthread
