ramyaesther84 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am attempting to use Gtk2 to create a user interface with Perl.

I have installed the various dependencies as described in the GTK Perl Tutorial, and continue to be unsucessful. Here is the test code.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use Gtk; # load the Gtk-Perl module use strict; # a good idea for all +non-trivial Perl scripts set_locale Gtk; # internationalize init Gtk; # initialize Gtk-Perl # convenience variables for true and false my $false = 0; my $true = 1; # widget creation my $window = new Gtk::Window( "toplevel" ); my $button = new Gtk::Button( "Goodbye World" ); # callback registration $window->signal_connect( "delete_event", \&CloseAppWindow ); $button->signal_connect( "clicked", \&CloseAppWindow ); # show button $button->show(); # set window attributes and show it $window->border_width( 15 ); $window->add( $button ); $window->show(); # Gtk event loop main Gtk; # Should never get here exit( 0 ); ### Callback function to close the window sub CloseAppWindow { Gtk->exit( 0 ); return $false; } # END EXAMPLE PROGRAM

When I run this I get the error message

"Can't locate loadable object for module Glib in @INC (@INC contains: /System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.8.8 /System/Library/Perl /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.8 /Library/Perl/Updates/5.8.8 /Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Library/Perl /Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Network/Library/Perl /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level .) at /System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Gtk.pm line 30 Compilation failed in require at /System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Gtk.pm line 30.

The executable modules for everything suggested by the tutorial.

Can anyone help me on this ??
