It is part of the Gnome2 libraries for ruby, the 'rb-gnome' packet. I would recommend installing only the 'gtk2' packet. Currently I'm installing the 'rb-gnome' packet, which is very large. If the 'gtk2' packet isn't sufficient enough you could always install the 'rb-gnome' packet. I'm not sure why it requires this packet, maybe because I'm using a newer version of OS X (10.5.7) or maybe the newer version of msf 3.2… Hi Jeff,

I encountered the same problem as Sec:

[*] The msfgui interface requires the ruby-gtk2 and ruby-libglade2 packages
[*] Dependencies include ruby-pango, ruby-glib2, ruby-gdkpixbuf2, and ruby-atk
[*] Error: LoadError no such file to load — gtk2

The problem is a missing packet called ‘gtk2′. It is part of the Gnome2 libraries for ruby, the ‘rb-gnome’ packet. I would recommend installing only the ‘gtk2′ packet. Currently I’m installing the ‘rb-gnome’ packet, which is very large.

If the ‘gtk2′ packet isn’t sufficient enough you could always install the ‘rb-gnome’ packet.

I’m not sure why it requires this packet, maybe because I’m using a newer version of OS X (10.5.7) or maybe the newer version of msf 3.2…

I just saw your comments this morning and hadn't had a chance to look into the issue. Was the problem in my instructions or was there just a package missing in your setup? It's been a while since I have gone through this how-to so any way I can make it better is a plus! Your help would be much appreciated! Jeff I’m glad you were able to get this working!

Was the problem in my instructions or was there just a package missing in your setup? It’s been a while since I have gone through this how-to so any way I can make it better is a plus! Your help would be much appreciated!

It was the package name that was the fault. It's rb-gnome, not ruby-gtk2. Thank you for your time. Well, it’s funny how close I get to the answer when I read questions I make.
