Hello Allan,

The Version I had installed at the time was wxGTK 2.8.7, which is the
default in the Lenny Apt Repos. After I followed some instructions on
how
to get 2.8.10, I removed the previous install, and installed 2.8.10, and
everything works, so you will need 2.8.10 in order to run the gem, or
build
from source. I do believe there are some yum repos out there, that have
wxGTK 2.8.10, you just need to look them up on google. Once you get the
2.8.10 version installed, you should be able to run the gem without any
problems.
HTH,
Mario

I had a similar problem. I has installed libwxgtk2.8-dbg and
wx2.8-headers. Nowadays all work successfully.
This is a Google translation.
My system is:

- wxRuby 2.0.1.

I also tried to install libwxgtk2.8-dbg and wx2.8-headers, but the
result does not change. Can you help me in any way?
For example, you can have a Ruby gem that is specific to Ubuntu 9.10
help non-expert like me to compile from source?
wxRuby is a great and beautiful GUI toolkit for the Ruby, I regret very
much not using it.
Thanks to all and please excuse the bad English.
To all:
You can download the version of wxRuby 2.0.1 that I have compiled
specifically for Ubuntu 9.10. This version was compiled for Ruby 1.8.7
p174, which is the default available in the Ubuntu Repositories. Run
the
following commands in your Console:
wget http://www.trilake.net/wxRuby/wxruby-2.0.1-x86-linux.gem
sudo gem install --local wxruby-2.0.1-x86-linux.gem
sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-0 libwxbase2.8-0
irb
require ‘rubygems’
require ‘wx’
exit
If everything installed properly, the above irb require statements
should
have outputted 2 “=> true” results. Which means that wxRuby is now
installed, and working for you.
hth,
Mario
P.S. Anyone looking for a version for Ruby 1.9 series of interpreter,
let
me know, and I’ll get a compile out there.
I will work on it tonight, and hopefully have it then. I will send an
email
out when I get it done.

Hello Mario. I would be really grateful if you could have a version of
wxRuby for Ruby 1.9 series of interpreter.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mario. Any news on this?
Thanks.
Sorry, seems that the gem is messed up, please don’t download from that
URL
till I say it is alright.

I do not lose hope.
Bye bye.
My apologizes Nome,
I had been working on upgrading my system, and getting Ruby 1.9 gem made
was
on the back burner. I have finished it, after I got everything setup
again
with the new hardware.
http://www.trilake.net/wxRuby/wxruby-ruby19-2.0.1-x86-linux.gem
This gem will be compatible with Ubuntu 9.10, with everything (Except
SWIG),
taken directly from the Repositories. If you have any problems with
this
version, please feel free to let me know.
Remember to install via:
sudo gem1.9 install --local wxruby-ruby19-2.0.1-x86-linux.gem
If the gem command attains the 1.9 part, otherwise, just use the gem
command.
hth,
Mario

I solved! 
The problem exists only on Ubuntu 9.10 migrated from Ubuntu 9.04.
-
Following the instructions found at
http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?InstallingFromSource on Ubuntu
9.10 new installation (in a VirtualBox virtual machine), I created a new
gem wxRuby version 2.0.1.
-
The same instructions also on Ubuntu 9.10 migrated, but before
compiling wxruby, I took the new gem created in step 1) and install this
with command:
sudo gem install --local wxruby-ruby19-2.0.1-x86-linux.gem
(I have installed only Ruby 1.9, otherwise command
sudo gem1.9 install --local wxruby-ruby19-2.0.1-x86-linux.gem)
Thanks to all, bye bye.
