I don't really believe it has anything to do with how you're closing  
the dialog box. I think the problem will ultimately be traced to a  
bug in how FXRuby is interacting with Ruby's garbage collector.

As you've mentioned, it's difficult to consistently reproduce it, but  
one thing you can try to test my theory is to simply disable Ruby's  
GC by adding the line:

	GC.disable

In your main program. If your program no longer exhibits the problem  
after adding this line, that's a pretty good sign that it's a GC- 
related issue.

Another, less severe, work around would be to only create the dialog  
box once, and store a reference to it in an instance variable:

	@dialog_box = FXDialogBox.new(...)

and when you want to display it, call execute on it:

	@dialog_box.execute

> Is there anything like a "message queue" in FXRuby?

I'm not sure what you mean. FOX works directly with the OS message  
queue (whether it's on Windows or X11), but there's no directly- 
accessible version of that.

OK, that's bad. When I say that's bad, I mean, I don't recall ever
seeing ruby outright *crash* when trying to load FXRuby. It's more
common to see, for example, a failure to find one of the shared
libraries that FXRuby needs, but the error message in that case is
more descriptive than a simple "Bus Error".

Yeah, that's OK. The feature name that you should be trying to require
is 'fox16'.

Thank you for doing all of that research on your own first. Like I
said, this is a new one to me, so you aren't going to find anything
about it in the FXRuby documentation.

> P.S: Here is a copy of what is writen to ruby1.8.crash.log:

<snip>

I scanned the stack trace, and it looks like the FXRuby code was
trying to call an internal Ruby function (st_lookup) when it failed. I
have a hunch that that interface has changed a bit since Ruby 1.8.1
(which is several years old now).

My advice is to upgrade to the most recent version of Ruby (1.8.5),
and then recompile FXRuby and try again. You shouldn't need to
recompile FOX -- just zap your FXRuby build directory and recompile
that part.

Good luck,

Lyle

I think you are asking how to convert data from some codec (like  
CP1251) to UTF-8? I would use the ruby-iconv library for this, I think.

Oh, no. The strings that you pass in to FXRuby definitely need to be  
UTF-8 encoded Unicode. So you will need to convert your strings which  
are in the Russian codec to UTF-8.

I don't know.

Hi:
    This might help you.
It's a message from me in Dec. 2001 to the ruby-talk forumn

http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/vframe.rb?key=unicode&cginame=namazu.rb&submit=Search&dbname=ruby-talk&max=50&whence=0

You should be able to convert unicode to utf8 using the code snippet 
there.  REXML incorporates that code into its parsers.

Thanks, Ernie, but I believe the problem that Aleksey is dealing with  
is that he has (literal) strings in ISO-8859-5 (Latin/Cyrillic)  
encoding, and he's wanting to pass those directly into FXRuby (e.g.  
as the label for a button). However, as best I understand it, FOX  
expects those strings to be UTF-8 encoded Unicode, so Aleksey needs  
to do something to convert his ISO-8859-5-encoded strings into UTF-8  
encoded Unicode, e.g.

	require 'iconv'

	button = FXButton.new(p, Iconv.new("iso-8859-8", "utf-8").iconv 
(original_russian_text), ...)

Here's the direct reference to my code.

http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/27298

I know this is code for converting a file, but constructing a utf8 
string from unicode is straight forward in the code.

If his problem is a simple Lyle describes.  Then do this
look up the character in the character set.

http://www.kostis.net/charsets/iso8859.5.htm

Find the decimal value for the character.

c=[decimal value of character].pack('U')

for example
the decimal value for CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER IO is 161  in iso8859-5  
(a one byte representation of the character)
In order to get the utf-8 representation  you have to convert the one 
byte representation to a two or more byte representation based on the 
utf-8 rules.
Ruby does this with array.pack

c=[161].pack('U")   => "\302\241"

The result is the octal values for the two bytes required in this case.

That's all he has to do.

Actually, Lyle, is the other way around.  Iconv is unintuitively using
Iconv.new( to, from ), like:

button = FXButton.new(p, Iconv.new("utf-8",
"iso-8859-8").iconv(original_russian_text), ...)

Using iconv is much faster (and easier) than packing/unpacking data as
Ernest suggests.

I didn't do anything specifically to fix your bug, so I guess that's  
up to you. The problem with memory-related bugs is that they are  
difficult to reproduce, and a given bug will sometimes manifest

No, there's nothing wrong. There are only minor differences between  
FOX versions 1.6.20 and 1.6.21, and none of those differences will  
affect the behavior of FXRuby, so there was simply no point in  
updating the version of FOX used for this build of FXRuby. (See the  
FOX News page for more information about what changed in version  
1.6.21.)

I downloaded the all-in-one archive and unpacked it.  I then did a cd to 
the libGUIb directory and
[root at erie libGUIb]# ruby install.rb

This looked good to me.  I then copied the foxGUIb directory to the 
location I chose: /home/alan/Software and did a cd to that new directory 
location and tried to execute it:
[alan at erie foxGUIb]$ ruby foxGUIb.rb

I don't understand what is wrong or what I should do about it.  Thanks

Please note that although the developer of foxGUIb does read this  
mailing list pretty regularly, you might also want to post your  
question to that project's mailing list.

Also, as a side note, this line from the various error messages:

	"no such file to load -- fox16"

seems to indicate that FXRuby itself isn't installed. You might want  
to try installing it first, before installing foxGUIb.

Hope this helps,

Lyle

The list that this is posted to is fxruby-users at rubyforge.org.  I don't 
see any other list that I might post this on.  I didn't realize that 
fxruby was a required install in addition to libGUIb and foxGUIb.  So I 
thank you.  I still have a problem, though, in that it didn't install 
correctly, and I can't tell why.  I did the following:

Well, since your question was about the "foxGUIb" project, you would  
want to look to that project's page:

	http://rubyforge.org/projects/fox-tool/

and click the "Mailing Lists" link for that project:

	http://rubyforge.org/mail/?group_id=88

Please see the FXRuby User's Guide for build instructions:

	http://www.fxruby.org/doc/book.html

I'm going to make an educated guess that you don't have FOX installed  
yet. You can download FOX (version 1.6.x) from the FOX home page:

	http://www.fox-toolkit.org/

Be sure that you get one of the 1.6 releases. FOX 1.7 is the  
experimental "development" branch and is not yet supported by FXRuby.

I will assume for the moment that all of the objects in the  
GLViewer's scene are in a GLGroup (as they are in the example  
program). In that case, just remove the object(s) from the group, e.g.

	glviewer.scene.remove(obj)

and then call update on the glviewer to get it to redraw itself:

	glviewer.update

Hope this helps,

Lyle

Message-ID: <6C0CF58A187DA5479245E0830AF84F4218CD8B@poweredge.attiksystem.ch>

Hi,

Here is a small test application made up of an FXMainWindow, where you
can find an FXTabBook and three items inside.

I can add "keyboard accelerators" in the main window. It works just
fine.

But I'm unable to do the same in the FXTabItem class. If I call
"accelTable.addAccel" in the MyTabItem class, the error I get is:

------------------------------
test.rb:17:in `initialize': undefined method `addAccel' for nil:NilClass
(NoMeth
odError)
        from test.rb:33:in `new'
        from test.rb:33:in `initialize'
        from test.rb:53:in `new'
        from test.rb:53
------------------------------

Apparently, accelTable is not initialized in the FXTabItem class.

FXTabItem is derived from FXWindow and should have an accelTable
attribute, right?

Does anyone see the problem then?

I'm using the FXRuby 1.6.6 gem under Ruby 1.8.5, under Windows XP.

Philippe Lang

It has a variable for accel table, but no accel table has been added
yet.  However, after you add an accel table, you should certainly
be able to add accelerator key-combinations to it then!

Hi,

I've tried initializing the accel table, the error has disappeared, but
the tab item does not react to CTRL-S at all. Something to enable maybe?

One more question: what happens if three tabs have the same hotkey
configured in their respective accel table? Do they all receive the
callback, or only the active tab? I'd like to code something similar to
the second solution, but I'm not sure how to do that...

Regards,

Philippe Lang

Hi again,

I have tried something else, still without success: I have overloaded
the tab frame as well, and configured its accel table. The only callback
that works for me is the one in the "MyWindow" class.

Subject: [fxruby-users] Problem using foxGUIb
Message-ID: <45D9CA46.10000@powernav.com>

I'm at a definite loss here.  I downloaded foxGUIb v0.7.  I unzipped the 
files.  (Windows XP pro)
I ran ruby install.rb in the libGUIb directory.
I switched to the foxGUIb directory
I tried running foxGUIb_win32.rbw
Nothing happened.

I tried running ruby foxGUIb.rb
I get the following error.


please install libGUIb!!
no such file to load -- fox16


Here is the text in the installed files
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8//libGUIb14.rb
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8//libGUIb16.rb

I have other fox gui's that run fine with require 'fox16'

Anyone have a clue as to what has gone wrong?

Ernie

all i can say is that libGUIb16.rb is there, gets called and fails in
its very first line trying to require fox16. i got no clue about what
is going wrong...

what happens when you do

require "fox16"

in irb?
what exception stacktrace do you get when you launch libGUIb16.rb directly?

Thanks for the response.  I figured out what was going wrong and just 
now have
it working.  My fxruby was installed as a gem.  When I upgraded Ruby to 
1.8.5
windows one click installer, It failed to set the Environmental Variable 
RUBYOPT.
with out that environmental variable, you have to require 'rubygems'.  I 
haven't tried the
foxGUI in Linux yet.  However, I know fxruby was installed there as a 
gem as well.  So
the foxGUI.rb script will have to have a require 'rubygems" in it in 
order for it to function
correctly. 
     I like the gui though.  It's very handy.  I'm giving a presentation 
on fxruby to the Atlanta
Ruby user's group in March.  I will be using the gui to explain how the 
layout manager works.
It's also nice to have all the events available for a widget as well.  
Very nice job.

I, too, installed fxruby as a gem on a 64-bit machine running Fedora 
Core 6.  I have not yet been able to run Fox with Ruby and get the same 
error message.  Following Ernie's lead, I modified foxGUIb.rb, adding
    require "rubygems"
just before
    require "version"
It appears that I crashing on the first code in this file
    begin
      require FOXGUIB_LIBRARY
    rescue LoadError
      puts "please install libGUIb!!"
      puts $!
      exit
    end
I don't know enough about this code to know what FOXGUIB_LIBRARY 
contains, or what it's supposed to contain, but I do know that I have a 
successful install of the library.

Can someone advise me of the next step in resolving this problem?  Thanks.

Have you installed the Fox Gui  itself?  Are you able to run any of the 
examples in the
examples directory of the fox gem?

Have you installed the Fox Gui  itself?  Yes
Are you able to run any of the examples in the examples directory of the fox gem? I just tried hello.rb, figuring that if that wouldn't run, then nothing else would.

/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.6/examples/hello.rb:3:in 
`require': no such file to load -- fox16 (LoadError)
        from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.6/examples/hello.rb:3
However, I have
/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.6/lib/fox16
/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.6/ext/fox16

I also have a syntax problem with my .bash_profile export of RUBYOPT.  I 
wish to set both "w" and "rubygems".  I seem to be able to set either, 
but not both.  Can you give me the correct syntax, please?

Just to clear up some confusion.  I believed I had installed fxruby as a 
gem on my
linux (ubuntu) box,  I did not.  I downloaded the tarball and compiled 
fxruby on that
machine.  Thus no need to require rubygems when running foxGUIb.rb.  It 
runs fine on
the linux box with no alterations.

I'm not sure what is installed on a linux box when you install the 
fxruby gem.  Although
looking at the size of the gem file, there must be a precompiled version 
of Fox included in that
gem.

As for your problem.  Try putting in a require 'rubygems' in the example 
files.  Does that allow
you to run foxGUIb?  Since I don't have the linux gem installed, I can't 
help you much other than to
suggest making sure the ruby application knows where required files are 
located.  Usually if libraries are installed
in Ruby the ruby knows about all the locations of those libraries.  When 
you require 'rubygems', rubygems is in one of
those locations.  rubygems will know where to find fox16.

Subject: [fxruby-users] fonts in Linux
Message-ID: <45DB3964.7010204@powernav.com>

The fonts that Fox uses in Linux look terrible.  I saw
a post somewhere perhaps here about compiling Fox
with  some declaration about fonts.  However (He slaps his
head in disgust) I deleted the email with that post.  I've looked
through the archives of this mailing list but haven't been able
to find a reference to that post.

Is there a way to get better fonts in Fox under linux?  If so,
what is the Fox compile syntax to do that?

This should work:

    export RUBYOPT="-w -rubygems"

and if the -rubygems thing isn't set, then yeah, it's not going to see
a gem-based installation of FXRuby (or any of your other gems, for
that matter).

When you install the fxruby gem on Linux (or any other non-Windows
platform), it will first compile the FXRuby extension source code, and
this may take several minutes. Then it will install that code to your
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/gems/whatever directory as usual.

No. We only provide precompiled versions of FOX and FXRuby in the
FXRuby gem for Windows. So there are two gems: the "binary" gem for
Win32, which is a pretty quick install (because everything's already
compiled), and the "source" gem for any other platform, which compiles
FXRuby as it installs.

I know that part of the solution is to configure FOX with the setting
"--with-xft=yes". For more, you might want to check out this thread:

Hope this helps,

I began adding comments with my problem to Ernie Ellingson's post, 
Problem using foxGUIb, because my problem is very similar to his.  The 
difference is that I'm running Fedora Core 6 (x86_64) and he's running 
Ubuntu.  However, I'm totally confused because of the mix up that I 
caused.  I'd like to start this new thread to separate our posts. 

I hope that this statement of how I installed the separate packages may 
yield a clue of why I can't run the fox GUI:

fox-1.6.21 -- This installed correctly
  make clean
  export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 -L/lib64"
  ./configure --enable-release
  make
  make install
  make docs

fxruby-1.6.6.gem
  foxGUIb-0.7.1
    ruby install.rb -- This installed correctly
  I copied the foxGUIb directory to ~/Software/

In .bash_profile, I have
  export RUBYOPT="w"
  I have tried to add "rubygems" to the above statement, but I can't 
guess the correct syntax.
 
First test: (I'm repeating the tests as I write this)
  cd ~/Software/foxGUIb;ruby foxGUIb.rb

  This yielded:
    /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/libGUIb16.rb:833: warning: `*' 
interpreted as argument prefix
    please install libGUIb!!
    no such file to load -- fox16

Second test:
  I modified ~/Software/foxGUIb/foxGUIb.rb to include
    require "rubygems"
    but this made no difference

Third test:
  It seems that the line "please install libGUIb!!" is generated by the 
following code in foxGUIb.rb:
    begin
      require FOXGUIB_LIBRARY
    rescue LoadError
      puts "please install libGUIb!!"
      puts $!
      exit
    end
  I added the following line at the beginning of this program:
    puts "FOXGUIB_LIBRARY = #{FOXGUIB_LIBRARY}"
  My test gave:
    FOXGUIB_LIBRARY = libGUIb16
    prior to the messages above

I have these files:
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/libGUIb16.rb
/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.6/lib/fox16
/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.6/ext/fox16

I created symbolic links to the lib64 directories from /usr/lib/ruby..., 
but that didn't help, so I removed the links.

Can you suggest what I might try next?

Hi:
    I've been experimenting with foxGUIb for a while.  Everything I have 
tried
as a layout has worked, except the matrix.  The layout appears correct 
in the
Main Window layout.  However, after generating the code, I get a single row
of widgets.

I'm trying to layou a simple 2 x 2 matrix.  Each cell of the matrix has 
a button.
The layout in foxGUIb looks like this

but    but
but    but

However, running the code, yields this layout.

but  but  but   but

OK.

Just to be clear: How do you know that this installed correctly? Can
you run any of the FXRuby examples?

Did you try my previous suggestion?

    export RUBYOPT="-w -rubygems"

I want to hold off on any more comments until we confirm that FXRuby
is installed and working...
