INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ========================= To have the full functionality, you need to install a shared Objective-C runtime library; the libobjc provided with older gcc is static. Please refer to the GNUstep website for more information on installing a shared libobjc. 1) Make sure you have gnustep installed (optionally but strongly recommended - with a shared libobjc - such as the gnustep-objc), and that it is working. 2) Make sure your java environment is well configured. At least one of the following should be true: * typing 'ruby' at the shell prompt should run the ruby interpreter (ie, you have set up your PATH environment variable); 3) Compile RIGS: make 4) Install RIGS: Become root, then type: make install 5) Play with RIGS. The best place to start is the Examples and Testing directory. I hope you'll have as much fun programming GNUstep from Ruby as I had when writing RIGS. Laurent Julliard
