Indeed. I forgot to delete the old .gem directory in my home directory.

After

emerge -av =x11-libs/vte-0.28.2-r207
to get an older VTE from my gentoo package manager

git install works fine. It is not really clear from your pages that
that old vte version is needed.

I did a --user-install again, because rake and other stuff is already
provided on my box by gentoo package manager, and removing all that is
some work. So I did

git clone https://github.com/ruby-gnome2/ruby-gnome2.git
% cd ruby-gnome2
% gem install --user-install rake rake-compiler mechanize pkg-config
cairo
% rake gem:build
% rake gem:install

Followed by changing .bashrc and fixing RUBYLIB

export RUBYLIB=/home/stefan/.gem/ruby/2.2.0/extensions/x86_64
-linux/2.2.0/

export PATH=$PATH:/home/stefan/.gem/ruby/2.2.0/bin

Now I can launch my app, and get mostly deprecated warnings, which I
will fix. Unfortunately still many crashes with messages like

paint newsize
/home/stefan/pet/pet_bbox.rb:17: [BUG] rb_gc_mark(): 0x0000000254d2e0
is T_NONE
ruby 2.2.3p173 (2015-08-18 revision 51636) [x86_64-linux]

You told me to look for errors raised in callbacks in your first post.
Will try that. Maybe I can locate the reasons for the crashes.

Thanks.
