Oh, thankyou, Aditya.  The tarball had a couple of problems which
I'm not very proud of it.  It has been dismissed.  The new tarball
is this: <http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/dist/shoes-0.r371.tar.gz>

Thanks. The new build works properly. I was trying different samples, and found something very strange with samples/irb.rb. If I type
str = "ABC" in the irb prompt, I get a dialog which says

Shoes says:

can't convert Array into String

  * (eval):91:in `+'
  * (eval):91

It appears that str is already initialized to [">>"]. Looking at samples/irb.rb, I think this is happening because eval is being used and str is a variable in the samples/irb.rb. But I would still consider it a bug in the code. Unfortunately, I am beginner at ruby and don't really know a good way to avoid this.

Aditya
