1.9.4 released

Desktop wxRuby
1

Hi,

I upgraded from 1.9.2. to 1.9.4 and cannot run any (demo-) applications
anymore, giving the error message below, which seems related to
libgstreamer, not present on my linux box (slackware, pre-12.1). The
file wxruby2.so is correctly installed at the expected place.
With 1.9.2 no problem, with 1.9.3 same problem as with 1.9.4:

bash-3.1$ ruby dictionary_app.rb dictionaryfile <= run with 1.9.2
bash-3.1$ ruby dictionary_app.rb dictionaryfile <= after ‘sudo gem
install wxruby’ i.e. 1.9.4

What to do?

Hello Rob,

Just looking quicky at a few things, it looks as though libgstreamer
0.10 is
not available as a package for Slackware. My suggestion, is to download
the
source code for LibGStreamer (Which can be found here:
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/) and compile libgstreamer yourself.
If
you have any questions, feel free to send me an email personally, and
I’ll
be happy to guide you through the process of compiling libgstreamer.

L8ers,

The wxRuby 1.9.3 binaries added Wx::MediaCtrl, which requires
libgstreamer on Linux. You can either:

  1. Fufil this dependency by installing libgstreamer

or

  1. Build your own wxRuby. Wx::MediaCtrl is an optional component, and if
    you’re compiling your own wxRuby and it’s not found to be supported,
    it’ll be skipped without error.

What does XP have to do with the question about Linux?
