Well, if ruby is the problem, I just tried out these instructions on my LinuxMint vm: Install RVM and Ruby on Ubuntu 12.04<https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-ruby-on-rails-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts-precise-pangolin-with-rvm>
After you install rvm (Ruby Version Manager), you can decide whether you want to install 1.8.6 ( $ rvm install 1.8.6) or 1.8.7 ( $ rvm install 1.8.7). The booh download page <http://booh.org/download.html> seems to have some pretty strict requirements regarding which version of ruby and the the matching ruby-gtk2 needed, so watch out for that too. This should be pretty safe if there are no other programs that rely on ruby on the system. -Al On Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 1:07 PM, James E.
