Hi all,

I’m having a problem getting the new wxRuby 2.0.0 to work. I’m using  
64-bit Linux (Fedora) and I initially downloaded the pre-built 64-bit  
file which didn’t work, so I gave up on that.

I decided to download the source file and compile that instead, based on  
my recent experiences with 1.9.8 (see ‘Problems running samples’) and  
all the help I received from Alex and Mario.

I ran ‘rake clean’ and ‘rake clean\_src’ beforehand and then ‘rake gem  
WXRUBY\_VERSION=2.0.0’. This set the compiler going. I then entered ‘sudo  
gem install wxruby-2.0.0-x86\_64-linux.gem’.

Let’s see if that works…

$ ruby minimal.rb

/home/russell/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/wxruby-2.0.0-x86\_64-linux/lib/wx/classes/app.rb:16:  
[BUG] Segmentation fault  
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11) [x86\_64-linux]

/usr/libexec/wxruby: No such file or directory.

Obviously it didn’t work. ☹

I’ve attached a text file from Bug Buddy if it’s useful.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Just thought I’d better add that I’ve now fixed the problem (which was  
my from own doing), after some investigation.

At some stage I must have entered ‘gem install…’ instead of ‘sudo gem  
install…’ which created a gem in my home folder and seemed to confuse  
things.

After deleting the .gem folder and its contents from my home folder, it  
worked.
