I'm looking for a gem that's able to send Growl notifications and receive a click-event on the notification. There are some gems available but the problem is none of them seem to be compatible with Ruby 1.9. Any suggestions?
A:
Ruby support for Growl was released in 2004 under the BSD license. Get in touch with the developer here to see how to get access to the source code. While it might seem like a huge task to fix a lib that you can't understand, the changes from 1.8 to 1.9 that break it might be obvious if you look at the source.
RVM would be an essential tool for testing language differences between 1.8 and 1.9.x. Or it might solve your problem by allowing you to specify a Ruby version while you wait for Ruby Growl to be updated... but I wouldn't hold my breath: it hasn't been touched in years.
