I was getting this the other day on Windows when no gem seemed to want 
to install, including gem update. But I'm not there now and can't retest 
or check versions.

Hard to say what's going wrong without an error message.

The latest version of wxRuby (1.9.9) on Linux requires that you install 
the wxWidgets shared libraries. This should be trivial using your 
package manager (synaptic) - find the wxWidgets 2.8.7 package 
(non-debug) from Hardy and install it.

If it's not resolved, please post a more detailed description of the 
problem to the wxruby-users mailing list.
