Recompiled with xrc enbled.  Fixed it.  Yipee.

Distro supplied, sort of.  SourceMage GNU/Linux is source
based and you attend to the compilation of *every* package
by answering a lot of options--even if you don't know *all* the
right answers.  ;)

Now I'm having linking errors....  Removing the STATIC defs
allow complete build and install, but the examples aren't
running.

One "tweek" would be to ensure that dynamic linking works.
Also, Source distro's "depend" on released tarballs compiling
or a patch being available from the download site.  I think
these would be the biggest help.  Not having to search for a
fix if a tarball is broken helps.

Although I've installed wxpython, I'm holding out on getting
wxruby working.  (I'll submit the 'spell' as soon as it works
unattended.)

Thanks for the help.

Will wxruby work with dynamic libraries?  I'll catch a bit of
flack if I don't at least attempt to resolve this.
