Please take questions about wxRuby to the wxruby-users mailing list:

wxRuby2 is substantially larger than wxruby 0.6.0 because it supports 
many more features. But the main problem is that there is a bug in 
rubyscript2exe which means the binary file is included twice in the 
.exe. You can manually unpack and repack the .exe to get round this.

Strange; I suggest you post a short sample illustrating the problem to 
the wxruby mailing list and we can take it from there.
