Thanks! But there is a very simple problem is that it uses '-lpthread',  
which it should be '-pthread' (${PTHREAD_LIBS}). Otherwise, everything  
works fine by default here with ruby-gtk2/ruby-gnome2 in FreeBSD 5.x. I  
have no idea for FreeBSD 4.x and it will be insteresting to know if they  
work, email me if one of you that have FreeBSD 4.x.

Do I have to do same things on other ports that what you did with  
ruby-opengl and others that required pthread?

Cheers,
Mezz
