Finally I got it working on Ubuntu 10.04 64bit!

Your post indirectly helped me, because I simply didn't realized there
was an wxruby-ruby19 package and I *am* using ruby 1.9.something.

I tried one of the examples and it instantly worked.

wxruby requires "libwx_gtk2u_media-2.8.so.0" which is available on 10.04
but *not* on 10.10 (which I initially tried, leave alone I tried the
wrong version).

I'm wondering why the gem did let me install a version it doesn't work
it, i.e. some kind of ruby version dependency.

thanks for the help!
