I’ve installed wxgtk 2.8.10 and wxruby 2.0.0.

When I try to run any scripts I get the following:

/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby-2.0.0-x86\_64-linux/lib/wxruby2.so:  
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby-2.0.0-x86\_64-linux/lib/wxruby2.so:  
symbol \_ZN13wxAuiNotebook7SetFontERK6wxFont, version WXU\_2.8.5 not

from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:36:in `require’  
from editor.rb:5

Any ideas? Which version of wxgtk was used while developing wxruby 2?

OK, solved it, I had to compile myself, here is a small description  
and the gem:  
[http://www.prodevtips.com/2009/10/25/ubuntu-810-karmic-koala-64bit-on-a-sony-vaio-aw11z/](http://www.prodevtips.com/2009/10/25/ubuntu-810-karmic-koala-64bit-on-a-sony-vaio-aw11z/)

Maybe someone with the authority could download it from there and put  
it here: [http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group\_id=35](http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=35) ?
