Hello,

irb(main):001:0> require ‘wxruby’
LoadError: no such file to load – wxruby

Looks like you should only require ‘wx’, see

Cheers,

Looks like you are using Ubuntu Karmic… wxRuby’s binary gem doesn’t
work with Ubuntu Karmic Koala, so you’ll have to compile it yourself:

Notice the --enable-shared option when compiling Ruby!
