Zyps

James Britt got Ruby-GNOME2 running on KUbuntu, and shared his steps to do so:

Set 1: get the ruby-gnome source and unpack. You get a directory tree
like this:

james@xxx:~/ruby-gnome2-all-0.16.0$ lt

Step 2

Read the README. But it is incomplete.

run this

   ruby extconf.rb
   make
   sudo make install

in the root of this source tree

Step 3:

Install the zyps gem

Step 4:

Try running zyps_demo. It will likely fails, and complain tht it cannot
find something, such as gtk2

Go to the ruby-gnome dir and cd into the sub dir for the missing lib.

Run this, in that dir

   ruby extconf.rb
   make
   sudo make install

Steps 5 - N

Keep trying the demo, and if it fails, note which lib is missing, find
it in one of the ruby-gnome subdirs, and run the above
extconf/make/install sequnce

Added BreedAction.
BreedAction now creates deep copies of behaviors, and children half the size of parents.
Merged zyps_server functions with zyps.
Push/pull strength reduced to 100.
Added clear environment button to GUI.
All actions split into separate Behaviors in GUI.

zyps/remote library added.
Some EnvironmentalFactors work better with zyps_server now.
