It just seems that the GDK::Drawable object seems to be missing the create_cairo_context method. According to the documentation I've read that code should work with GTK 2.8, Ruby/Gnome2 0.14 and rcairo 1.0 all of which I have installed. I've recompiled and re-installed everything but that didn't work. I just want to make sure that I'm using the correct versions or if I'm not missing some other required library. Thanks, Farrel
