GitNub closes immediately — installation problem or something else?

Question

I followed the steps documented on http://wiki.github.com/Caged/gitnub/installing-or-building-gitnub under ‘installing from the distribution’:

1. Launch Terminal.app.
2. gem install open4
3. Copy GitNub.app to /Applications/*
4. Copy the nub binary to /usr/local/bin (or somewhere else in your path).

However, when I navigate to a git repository and enter the nub command, the GitNub icon appears in my Dock for a second, and then silently disappears.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Looks like active tickets for GitNub are here. These two bugs (one, two) describe the same symptoms. The second suggests a fix in the thread.

No Mac so I can't test; does either one look like your issue? Try running from Terminal to see any error messages.
