I believe that's has simpler dependencies as it doesn't require anything to be compiled. You may want to try just the plain “twitter” gem (without “4r”).

That said, thanks for the link to Platypus; I hadn't seen it before, and it certainly looks like its worth checking out.

I had the same error with different gem, different dependency... I'm assuming that's fixed now, too. Thanks! This will be very much a side project, and probably some industrious person with more time on their hands will beat me to it, b/c it may take me awhile to finish, but... oh well. It's <em>fun</em>. @SP… you’re exactly right, it was a dependency issue, not a twitter4r issue. I had the same error with different gem, different dependency… I’m assuming that’s fixed now, too.

I almost asked the question about the password edit_line to the list(I assumed it wouldn't be online), but I decided to search anyways, and lo and behold! Found it online. @Garrick, good to know -- thanks! @_why Yep, I am on the Shoes list.

Technically the RubyGem install error is really due to Twitter4R's dependency on the json RubyGem, which is a native extension. This would make sense since mkmf is used to help build Ruby extensions. Just more of a FYI than anything. Also to keep you in the loop on Twitter4R there will be a 0.3.1 patch release to fix #to_xml on each of the "models" (i.e. Status, Message, User, etc.) coming up in the next week. Let me know if you notice any other issues with Twitter4R and I will be happy to fix them. Thanks, SP Hi.

I just got some threading bugs killed yesterday, so you should be okay polling Twitter in the background. One other thing that comes to mind is that RubyGems isn't plugged into Shoes yet. I'll get started on that right away. In the meantime, you'll probably want to just unpack the gem and copy the contents of its lib/ folder into the lib/ folder in your Shoes app. Say, are you on the Shoes list?
