this is impossible. i tried to get qtruby working a couple weekends,  
tried quite a few times and couldn't get it to work. i gave up and  
thought i'd come back to it later.
now i found this thread and i'm trying again. anyways, here's where i  
get stuck now (doing make in smoke/qt):
i get a bunch of errors like this right before it fails if anyone  
wants to take a stab at it:

typeinfo for QDomNodereferenced from libsmokeqt expected to be  
defined in libqt.3.dylib

i'm pretty sure this is because i have libqt-mt.3.dylib, but i have  
no idea how to tell it to look for that instead?

last time i tried to do this, qtruby kept complaining about me not  
compiling qt with threads, so i went back and recompiled.

if there's no way to help me from the fragments i've just given, what  
do i need to delete before i start over again? if i start compiling  
qt and then qtruby again, will it just write over everything, or do i  
have to remove it first?

ps i'm using qtruby-1.0.9 and qt-mac-free-3.3.5

waiting to read his qtruby pdf tutorial thing,
