Ok.  I decided to go for broke and upgrade from ruby 1.8.2 to ruby 
1.8.6.  I followed the Hivelogic instructions here:

http://hivelogic.com/articles/2007/02/ruby-rails-mongrel-mysql-osx

and everything seemed to install correctly.  And the new version is 
being found:

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i686-darwin8.11.1]

I also upgraded from rubygems 0.9.4 to rubygems 1.3.1 following the 
Hivelogic instructions.

But now when I try to require wxruby, I get an error:

r1test.rb
-------
require 'rubygems'
require 'wx'


$ ruby r1test.rb
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in 
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- wx (LoadError)
        from 
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in 
`require'
        from r1test.rb:2


I tried all of the following as well:

require 'wx'
---
require 'rubygems'
require 'wxruby'
--
require 'wxruby'

I got an error for each one.


My PATH is a little different than instructed.  Here are the last few 
lines in my ~/.bash_profile file:

---------
...
...

PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
export PATH

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"    "added for ruby 1.8.6 install
export PATH
-----------

Because /usr/local/bin was already on the front of the path in the 
previous setting, I just added /usr/local/sbin to the front of the path. 
I didn't think that would cause any adverse affects.

My question is: where did wxruby go?  What happened when I did this:
