Alas, RubyBox needs the GPL Systems Repository, and the repository is currently offline.

so how would i go about running this "work around" on my n810. i found a log using google. http://mg.pov.lt/maemo-irclog/%23mae...01-27.log.html
thats about as far as i can get about trying to figure this out by myself. help thanks
In other words, if you want to type a forwards slash, you press and hold the FN key, tap the H key, then release the FN key.
If you tap the FN key then tap the H key, you will just input a "h".

Tried installing rubybox 0.3.3 deb to see what requirements it had. App Manager said it needed ruby1.8-maemo
Went to pupnik.de/ruby.html. Tried installing Ruby-Maemo 4 (ruby1.8-maemo 0.4.0 maemo4 armel.deb). App Manager said it needed libruby1.8 and ruby1.8
Tried installing Ruby 4 (ruby1.8 1.8.6-p110-1 maemo4 armel.deb) since it was the lowest on the list. App Manager said it needed libruby1.8
Tried installing libruby 4 (libruby1.8 1.8.6-p110-1 maemo 4 armel.deb). App Manager said it needed libssl0.9.7
Went to http://www.gronmayer.com/it/. Did a few searches since I could not tell if it wanted libssl0, libssIO, libss10, libsslO, or libss1O. I finally tried searching for just libss, which told me I was looking for libssl0, and it could be found in Maemo diablo/sdk
Added Maemo diablo/sdk to App Manager. Could not find libssl0. Muttered under my breath as I entered Red Pill Mode.
After that, I successfully managed to install each of the required libraries in turn, and RubyBox is now working. whew!

It's sad the ruby developer disappeared and left no sources so it will never make it into extras. I don't think it will work in the next os version so RubyBox is kind of doomed too. But enjoy it while you can.

Red pill, though, was unnecessary; since libruby depended on libssl0, it should have been pulled in automatically (now that you added the SDK repo) when you tried libruby or rubybox again, so you don't need to be able to manually select it.

Isn't Ruby, like Python, interpreted? That means you don't need source code; the executables are text files.
