Excuse my ignorance but does that mean that wxRuby depends on OpenGL? Because if it does, I won't be able to use it since my libre system has no support for OpenGL due to licensing issues (<a href="http://www.fsf.org/news/thank-you-sgi">http://www.fsf.org/news/thank-you-sgi</a>).<br>

I installed wxRuby through rubygems but I can't use it. When I try the sample apps I get the following error:<br>
<br>
fla@nutabe:~/biblioteca/programación/ruby/wxruby_doc/samples/minimal$ ruby minimal.rb<br>

This is the software I'm using:<br>
<br>
gNewSense 2.1<br>
wxRuby 1.9.9-x86<br>
Ruby 1.8.6<br>

It looks like you need some additional libraries that wRuby depends on. Since Linux systems vary so widely, it's sometimes necessary to install some additional dependencies to get wxRuby to work.<br>
<br>
The missing library is libGL.so and I think on Debian-type systems you need to install a package called something like "libgl1-mesa" to get this. Searching for "mesa" should turn it up.<br>
