Sorry I was talking about the Windows version, not the Linux one. The
current QtRuby for Qt 3 compiles just fine with gcc on Linux.

But at the moment you can't compile Qt 3 with gcc under Windows as far as I
know. I don't know what the problem is exactly, but apparently Trolltech
have done some work to improve Qt 4 compatibility with gcc on Windows.
