After sending this, I went back and search for "GTK" in my email and found out
that I was running an old version of J7. :P
So I've upgraded using the console and I was able to mess around with the new
IDE/GTK and the GUI/GTK tutorials now work!
The only thing that failed was when I tried running:
load jpath '~addons/gui/gtk/demo/tut7.ijs'
|control error: gtkglade
| 'builder window'=: 'window' gtkglade jpath
'~addons/gui/gtk/demo/tut7.glade'
Although there is an error, it looks like Chris is supporting the Glade output
and this is good news. :)

Subject: [Jgeneral] J/GTK
I don't know if I this post should go to Beta or Chat ...
I've been looking into the GUI/GTK addon with mixed results. I guess the
problem is more on how my Ubuntu Linux is configured. My friend who's looking
to porting his VB6 product/software to Linux called me up again and is really
interested in doing the project.
I feel that this is a good opportunity to introduce J with GTK.
So I have the following questions (very specific to J with GTK).
1. Does anybody have a list of dependencies? What to install/configure to
get a J/GTK running without errors? I could make a short document/tutorial on
how to configure J/GTK if I am able to do it successfully. Right now I don't
know what are needed after installing J602 in my Ubuntu Lucid.
2. I'm aware of Glade, it seems that the GladeXML object have to be
supported by the J-GTK binding to be able to use it. Is it already supported
with the current bindings?
I played with Glade around with it and I feel that its already a mature product
and vastly superior to the current wd form editor. I am suggesting that J7 uses
Glade instead of reinventing the wheel then just implement a binding to
GladeXML object.
