Yes, it was painful before I figured it out. :) I used apt-get to install ruby-1.8.7, all the wx libraries (including the dev header packages) I uninstalled the debian rubygems package completely and installed rubygems-1.4.1 from the

Hi, I am working on a project where I need to generate a chart (a bit like a pie chart, but very customised) and insert this into a PDF document. Does anybody have any advice on ruby libraries (or other techniques) for doing this? Open to suggestions?
