The simplest way is to use a timer. It works like JavaScript's
setTimeout, except expressed in seconds, not milliseconds.
timer 0.5 do # will run in half a second
@ele.show
timer(2.0) { @ele.hide } # and then two seconds later
end

Have you installed all the libraries in the README?
# aptitude install libcairo2-dev libpixman-1-dev libpango1.0-dev \
libungif4-dev libjpeg62-dev libgtk2.0-dev vlc libvlc0-dev \
libsqlite3-dev ruby1.8-dev rake
It sounds like ruby1.8-dev is probably missing.
