Yeah, I've heard dbus-ruby doesn't even compile.

Would it be possible to state this on your project's page?

It's a little confusing that there are so many projects for dbus.
Perhaps if you provide a link to ruby-dbus stating that they are
working on that project more actively right now...

What do you think?

So, if you are needing DBus support under Ruby, I would recommend you try Ruby D-Bus

You can still visit the pr-dbus' page at RubyForge
