This is an odd-looking program. It's tough to know where to begin.

One obvious problem you're running into is that class names in Ruby  
must begin with an uppercase letter. You will need to rename your  
"inchesX" class to "InchesX".

Also, the code that you're showing is incomplete:

	class inchesX
		def init
			convertButton.connect(SEL_COMMAND) { cmLabel.text =  
(inchesField.text.to_f*2.54).to_s }
		end

There's no "end" statement corresponding to the "class" statement, so  
I'm surprised this parsed at all. What does the contents of the  
"inchesX.rb" file look like?

In your main program (i.e. the part in the "if __FILE__" block), you  
call:

	inchesX.new app

but unless the code in "inchesX.rb" contains a corresponding  
initialize() method, that's not going to work either.
