The requirements should include the 'libgconf2-ruby' package. I updated the project page.
The apt-get command is now:
apt-get install ruby libgtk2-ruby libglade2-ruby libcairo-ruby libgconf2-ruby |

Rewrite in Ruby |
| By Ian McIntosh (IP: 201.250.4.---) - Posted on 2006-12-20 21:21:05 |
I got tired of all these packaging issues (see below) so I rewrote it Ruby.
The new Ruby version is currently missing the "Track mouse cursor" feature from the older version, but has several other improvements (see release notes here). |

Re: Can't install on Ubuntu |

In the if statement around line 8780 in the configure script, libgnomeui is not found, and the following error-message is put in the GNOME_PKG_ERRORS variable:
Package libgnomeui-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgnomeui-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'libgnomeui-2.0' found
This, however, is never printed, as the script quietly exits around line 8797.
To fix it, I installed libgnomeui:
sudo apt-get install libgnomeui-dev
and it works perfectly.

Same problem for me on Ubuntu as supermike.
Download gruler, confgure does not create a Makefile. |

RE: Can't Install |

Sorry that gruler gave you so much trouble, supermike.
It appears to work for others (and me, on Ubuntu), but that's not to say that the build system doesn't have problems.
If you have any ideas what might be wrong, I'd be happy to make changes.
I don't know what you're referring to with "all these dependencies." It uses GTK and GDK like all GNOME apps, Pango for drawing text, and GConf to store your settings. Perhaps you could suggest where I should cut out the fat? |

Can't Install |
| By supermike (IP: ---.atl.dsl-w.verizon.net) - Posted on 2006-03-09 02:32:36 |
The old configure, make, make install trick don't work here. Homey don't play that.
./configure works
make doesn't:
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
C'mon! This should be an easy thing to make. All these dependencies shouldn't be necessary. Just stick with Python 2.2 scripts, minimum, draw it in Glade2, connect it with GTK, and you're off and running on most Linuxes since the days of RH8.
Now I have to go off and build my own because this guy couldn't follow the Keep It Simple methodology.
Chalk this one up to the trash bin. It's no wonder in Ubuntu, even with Universe and Multiverse option, you don't see this available via the apt command.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. And sorry for the troubles. Long time coder, first time packager.
David, that problem should be solved. Stik, still working on it.
If anyone wants to help test a new version before I post it here, shoot me an email (my email address is under "Publisher Info" on here). |

great application |
| By david (IP: ---.cidr.lightship.net) - Posted on 2004-10-04 15:02:44 |
Ever since I switched to GNOME from KDE a few months ago, I have been looking for an app like this. This is fantastic for development. KRuler was the one KDE app that I was still using. It's a bit different than KRuler, but I like the changes. Very nice job.
One thing that I have just noticed upon installing 0.4, is that after I built, installed, and deleted sources, gRuler was still looking for gRuler.glade in my build directory. Before I had deleted sources, it started up with no trouble.
Again, great work! |

great software! before i used kruler for kde, but there were some problems (e.g. a window-border around the ruler, had to install kde, etc.)
