I'm not aware of anyone who is doing a Solaris build. You would have to
build it yourself. Although its possible that one of the wxRuby users might
have access to a Solaris system at work and be able/willing to attempt a
build. Your best bet would be to subscribe to the wxRuby mailing list and
ask.

The group of wxRuby users is fairly small, but very helpful. Plus Kevin
Smith has developed a copy sample applications which make very good examples
of using wxRuby (including an email client).
