wxruby users - Oct 2006 - install problem

I''m having a problem getting wxruby2-preview working on my Linux
system.
I loaded wxruby via a gem install and that seemed to go OK. Added
RUBYOPT=-rubygems to /etc/environment file and set it at the command 
prompt and still I get the following when I try to run minimal.rb:

[root@www minimal]# ruby -rubygems minimal.rb

Unable to load wxruby. Searched:

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby2-preview-0.0.36-i486-linux/bin

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby2-preview-0.0.36-i486-linux/lib

/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8

/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i586-linux-gnu

/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i586-linux-gnu


There is no /bin directory but there is a /lib directory. The /lib 
directory has wx.rb and wxruby2.so and a sub-directory, /wx. All the /wx 
directory has in it is version.rb. I unistalled and reinstalled but
it''s
consistent and I don''t know how to move past this problem.
Thanks

Thanks for the problem report. Hopefully we can solve it.

For a simpler test, try running irb and directly requiring wxruby:

kevins at aria:~$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require ''wx''
=> true
irb(main):002:0>

Or, as a variation, try requiring the .so file more directly (don''t do 
this in an app--it''s just for diagnostics):

irb(main):001:0> require ''wxruby2''
=> true
irb(main):002:0> exit

That all seems correct. My Ubuntu system looks the same.

Have you ever had a different version of wxruby installed on this 
system? Have you tried any other gems?
