ok, i found another 'guide' http://oltsm.blogspot.com/2007/07/ruby-website-screencapture-howto.html
which gave me enough to get something working on Ubuntu Edgy. What i did was this : apt-get install libgtk-mozembed-ruby1.8 xvfb wget http://mirko.lilik.it/Ruby-GNOME2/moz-snapshooter.rb startx -- `which Xvfb` :1 -screen 0 1024x768x24 & DISPLAY=:1 ruby moz-snapshooter.rb ----- I then got some warnings from glib2.rb but nothing fatal and then it worked. I ignored the advice on the page about compiling your own ruby / gnome bindings (mainly because it failed on my machine and i thought, why make life hard for yourself?) so, now im going to try and get it running from python because I can do python but not ruby and havent got the time to learn ruby here's a couple of links for python implementations http://www.hackdiary.com/archives/000055.html http://www.burtonini.com/blog/computers/mozilla-thumbnail-20040614.xhtml Darren Cook wrote: >>> Not for want of demand!
