Subject: Re: wxRuby problem on Ubuntu

I have Ubuntu-hoary and have Ruby 1.8 installed (with WxRuby), I have
managed to get it all up and running,

I am not 100% sure what the problem is. So:

Can you run a program that looks a little bit like this:
<code>
require 'wxruby'
include Wx

puts "hello world"
</code>

and do your $PATH settings point to WxRuby?

It took me a while to find what was going wrong with my Wx
installations on Ubuntu... i had lots of problems and errors. My
WxRuby programs now work completely fine on both Windows (XP) and
Ubuntu. I am yet to test it on my iBook.

Hope to help further,

Daniel.
