as of version 0.12.0, ruby-gnomecanvas2 is completely unusable. This can be tested by attempting to run app-misc/alexandria or by running the following command in a shell. ruby -e 'require "gnomecanvas2"' The Launchpad.net bug tracker has a explanation of the problem in it's Ubuntu Linux section as well as a patch which apparently fixes it. The URL is https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ruby-gnome2/+bug/1795
what about 0.14.1 , which is now x86 stable?
Seems to work with 0.14.1.
