I used CVS swig to compile kahakai from kahakai CVS a few days before the
0.5 release. Kahakai is rapidly evolving (that is to say, unstable). In
order to successfully compile with Ruby support, I had to use a fully
upgraded Debian SID box (as well as CVS kahakai and CVS swig).
The best way to get help with this is to get on irc.freenode.net, channel
#kahakai. They are very helpful--they can at least tell you what bleeding
edge tools they are currently using.
Having a window manager that is scriptable in Ruby sounds like a great idea.
But the 0.5 release dropped my must-have merged windows feature, so I've
stopped following kahakai :(
