Subject: wx on Ubuntu 10.10 doesn't work

Hello

I just installed wx with

   sudo gem install wxruby
   (and later also tried sudo gem install wxruby-ruby19)

Ruby version is 1.9.2.

   ruby -e 'require "wx"'

Gave the folllowing error:

<internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require': 
libwx_gtk2u_stc-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file 
or directory - 
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/wxruby-2.0.1-x86-linux/lib/wxruby2.so (LoadError)
         from <internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require'
         from 
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/wxruby-2.0.1-x86-linux/lib/wx.rb:12:in 
`<top (required)>'
         from <internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:33:in `require'
         from <internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:33:in `rescue in 
require'
         from <internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require'
         from -e:1:in `<main>'

Then I did:

   sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_stc-2.8.so.0 
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/i686-linux/libwx_gtk2u_stc-2.8.so.0

Now it complains in the same way as before about a missing 
libwx_gtk2u_media-2.8.so.0 file. There is a 
/usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_media-2.6.so.0 but not for 2.8.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance, R.
