Forum: wxRuby Re: linking gem to wx on Linux

By compiling wxWidgets from source, enabling the shared library option 
and
using 2.8.11 wxGTK as follows:

../configure --enable-shared --with-gtk --enable-monolithic \
 --enable-unicode --disable-debug --enable-catch_segvs 
--enable-graphics_ctx
\
 --enable-mediactrl --with-opengl --with-libjpeg=builtin
--with-libpng=builtin \
 --with-libtiff=builtin --with-zlib=builtin --with-expat=builtin
--enable-gui \
 --enable-xrc --enable-mdi --enable-gif \
 --enable-pcx --enable-iff --enable-pnm --enable-xpm

I now get this error on my own machine (Ubuntu 9,10) which was working:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux/wxruby2.so:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux/wxruby2.so: undefined

I know I had it working, so I'll keep pushing forward. :D
