Current pixman has a bug that crashes wxLua and thereby wxRuby and
other popular environments such as GNUstep[1]. Until pixman has fixed
the issue, wxRuby has problems running on current Linux distros[2]. On
Debian/Ubuntu, there's a second bug fixed in Ubuntu for the upcomming
Oneiric--there was a library (libwx_gtk2u_media) missing[3].

Last SVN commits date on this year's 21st May. It may not be
overwhelmingly active, but at least *some* development is going on.
