    Follow these steps to install Qtruby+Qt4

    run following command in terminal

    sudo aptitude install libqt4-core libqt4-dev

    Download qtruby from http://rubyforge.org/projects/korundum/

    version=2.1.0
wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/71843/qt4-qtruby-${version}.tar.gz

    Extract qtruby

    tar -xvzf qt4-qtruby-${version}.tar.gz
cd qt4-qtruby-${version}

    qtruby installer uses the location of the Ruby binary it is started with

    rvm use 1.8.7
cmake .
make

    Now install,

    sudo make install

    ubuntu doesn't look here by default, but the qtruby install puts its libraries here

    sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib

    We had to run make install with root because it writes to /usr/local/lib, but it also writes to $MY_RUBY_HOME.

    we don't want root-owned files floating around in there

    sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $MY_RUBY_HOME

    NOTE - For more information please have a look at rvm documentation
