My heart went out to the author of a mail list request for suggestions:
“I encountered the current problem I’m having about a year ago and thought I had figured what was wrong but can’t seem to remember how to fix it.”
Naturally after installing Gnome2, the simple ruby
require ‘gtk2′
failed.
I began slowly, conservatively, moving gtk2 site-ruby into my dev ruby tree.
I finally got to the iconv.dll missing entry-point error.
Here is my tip if you find that your ruby/bin already has an iconv.dll
In ruby/bin create a safety dir and move your current iconv.exe and iconv.dll into that backup area.
Now copy from the the gnome2/bin into ruby/bin
You should now get a reassuring true when you require ‘gtk2′
There are good tips on rubyscript2exe elsewhere on the web.
