Hello, I’m using wxRuby as my favourite GUI toolkit with Ruby 1.9. But after I updated my Ruby installation from Ruby 1.9.1-p0 to Ruby 1.9.1-p129, I cannot do a require “wx” anymore. Every time I try I get an error that says that Windows isn’t able to find some procedure. I have a German Windows XP installation, so I don’t know the English equivalent of this error (sorry): irb(main):001:0\> require “rubygems” =\> false irb(main):002:0\> require “wx” LoadError: 127: Die angegebene Prozedur wurde nicht gefunden. - C:/ruby19/ruby -1.9.1-p129-i386-mingw32/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/wxruby-ruby19-2.0.0-x86-mingw3 2/lib/wxruby2.so from C:/ruby19/ruby-1.9.1-p129-i386-mingw32/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/wxr uby-ruby19-2.0.0-x86-mingw32/lib/wx.rb:12:in `require' from C:/ruby19/ruby-1.9.1-p129-i386-mingw32/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/wxr uby-ruby19-2.0.0-x86-mingw32/lib/wx.rb:12:in `\’ from (irb):2:in `require' from (irb):2 from C:/ruby19/ruby-1.9.1-p129-i386-mingw32/bin/irb:12:in `’ I would translate it this way: “The given procedure wasn’t found”. At the same time I get a Windows error window, saying: Der Prozedureinsprungpunkt “DLLMain@12” wurde in der DLL “msvcrt-ruby191.dll” nicht gefunden. I don’t know how to translate “Prozedureinsprungpunkt”, but it must be something like “procedure definition point”, so I would say: The procedure definition point “DLLMain@12” wasn’t found in the “msvcrt-ruby19.dll” DLL file. I’m using the mingw version of ruby from [Downloads](http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/). My full ruby -v: ruby 1.9.1p129 (2009-05-12 revision 23412) [i386-mingw32] ---

I suspected a general binary incompatibility between these two versions of ruby (see [http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/wxruby-users/2009-May/004862.html](http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/wxruby-users/2009-May/004862.html)). But this seems to be specific to MinGW. The solution is to rebuild wxRuby-2.0 for the ruby-1.9.1-p129. If you can’t rebuild the gem yourself, please wait for the upcoming wxRuby-2.0.1 release. The MinGW wxRuby-2.0.1 gem will be built for ruby-1.9.1-p129. Cheers. Chauk-Mean. ---

Currently installing wxRuby using “gem install wxruby” won’t work with a ruby19 system. As per the gems listed on the rubyforge page ([http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group\_id=35](http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=35)) I had to install the gem named with ruby19: gem uninstall wxruby gem install wxruby-ruby19 After this the system worked as expected.
