MacRuby has been overtaken by bit-rot and is no longer viable. You may
need to move in another direction. Here are a few options:
1. As another poster in the thread indicated, try RubyMotion, a
commercial product developed by the creator of MacRuby that is
essentially its successor.
2. Switch to Objective-C for developing of a Cocoa app with Xcode.
3. Use Ruby with another GUI toolkit, such as Tk: Ruby has just added
support for Tk's latest version, 8.6. Tk works pretty well on the Mac,
other GUI toolkits are not well-maintained on the Mac.
Hope this helps,
Kevin
