Not compiling and gem

[peter retief]

Hi All

I spent a bit of time this Sunday playing with shoes

First thing I tried was this

Shoes.setup do
  gem 'chronic'
end
require 'chronic'

Shoes.app do
        button("The date is . . .") {alert (Chronic.parse("today"))}    
end

the gem setup failed with an error saying 0 arg given and 1 required
(I cant reproduce the error because of the next item)

Secondly I did a "git pull" and rake to get the latest and greatest
Which failed to compile
giving the following error:
/usr/include/limits.h:122:61: error: no include path in which to
search for limits.h


Ubuntu 8.04.1

Regards
Peter
