Hello I''m happy to announce that wxRuby version 1.9.9 is now available for download and gem installation: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=35&release_id=27842 gem install wxruby On Linux, the default binary gem is now dynamically linked to wxWidgets. This means you''ll need to install wxWidgets from your package manager. See below for more info. == CHANGES = This recommended upgrade includes a substantial number of new GUI features, as well as fixing a number of bugs: * Added the RichText framework, providing word-processor like editing of styled/formatted text and inline images * Added a number of other useful GUI classes, such as VScrolledWindow, VListBox and HtmlListBox * Added the StandardPaths and NavigationKeyEvent classes * Fixed a number of bugs and warnings * Binary builds for Windows and OS X are based on the latest stable wxWidgets, 2.8.9, so benefitting from upstream fixes It had been planned that 1.9.8 was the last release before 2.0. 1.9.9 is a chance to give some new classes some testing time and get some fixes out there whilst finishing up the last few 2.0 blocker bugs (eg Clipboard probs on GTK, ScrolledWindow X errors). == LINUX BINARY GEMS = Previous binary builds for Linux were, like those for Windows and OS X, statically linked - meaning the wxRuby library included all the relevant wxWidgets code. With this release I''ve switched to offering a Linux gem that is dynamically linked - meaning it makes use of the wxWidgets library on your system - which should be easily installable from your package manager - eg apt-get install wxwidgets The reasoning here: * Because Linux systems vary a lot in what''s installed by default, using the static build generally still required messing around installing new packages * Package managers make it trivially easy to install a recent version of wxWidgets on major distros * The shared builds are substantially smaller and may perform better I''m open to discussion on this based on experiences on different distros (I''ve only tested on Ubuntu). == ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS = Thanks to all those who contributed bug reports and feature requests to this release, as well as those who keep the project ticking over in other ways such as keeping the wiki up to date and taking part on the mailing list. cheers alex
Great work, Alex! By the way, the Windows version now seems to be much more verbose on errors. This is very helpful, thanks a lot.

?????? ????????? wrote:> Great work, Alex! >:)> By the way, the Windows version now seems to be much more verbose on > errors.That''s useful to know, thanks for following this up. I think the difference is that I compiled the new version of wxWidgets for wxRuby 1.9.9 with wxUSE_EXCEPTIONS set 0 instead of 1. I''m guessing what was happening was that C++ exceptions were leaking through to Ruby, which is a bad thing and caused the uninformative crashes you reported. I''ll make this part of the official build instructions from now on. alex
Hello together, I tried to install wxruby 1.9.9 () on a SLES10 Linux server. - First I installed the wxWidgets rpm. - then the wxruby gem When trying to start an example I get the following error: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby-1.9.9-x86-linux/lib/wxruby2.so: libwx_gtk2u_gl-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory - /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby-1.9.9-x86-linux/lib /wxruby2.so (LoadError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby-1.9.9-x86-linux/lib/wx.rb:12 from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require'' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'' from grid.rb:8 I made the following check: ldd wxruby2.so ./wxruby2.so: /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_stc-2.8.so.0: no version information available (required by ./wxruby2.so) linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libwx_gtk2u_stc-2.8.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_stc-2.8.so.0 (0xb761c000) libwx_gtk2u_gl-2.8.so.0 => not found libwx_gtk2u_media-2.8.so.0 => not found libwx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8.so.0 => not found libwx_gtk2u_aui-2.8.so.0 => not found libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.8.so.0 => not found libwx_gtk2u_qa-2.8.so.0 => not found libwx_gtk2u_html-2.8.so.0 => not found libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.8.so.0 => not found libwx_gtk2u_core-2.8.so.0 => not found libwx_baseu_xml-2.8.so.0 => not found libwx_baseu_net-2.8.so.0 => not found libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0 => not found libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7616000) libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0xb75e2000) libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /opt/gnome/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0xb72ee000) ... then next are available I also installed all the available gtk libraries on the server.

I think the problem is that the Ubuntu wxWidgets that the gem was built against was compiled in ''multilib'' form - ie with each group of features in a separate .so.
