Subject: Re: WxRuby?


Does wxRuby work on Linux on handhelds?  For example, Linux on the Zaurus?
I'm quite interested in providing a GUI for my jukebox that would work on
the Zaurus, but I don't have one to develop on, just a friend with one
that's willing to test it, so I'd have to develop it under Linux.
