[wxruby-users] wxRuby segfault on exit

On reflection, that probably wasn't anywhere near enough info.

I'm running GNOME version 2.22.1 on Ubuntu 8.04 release candidate (it is
possible this is the problem, I'll use a livecd later to check on an
earlier ubuntu). I'm using the gem retrieved using 'gem install wxruby',
which is 1.9.5.

As for some code none of the samples I tried worked. Here is nothing.rb
(minus comments):
begin
  require 'rubygems' 
rescue LoadError
end
require 'wx'
Wx::App.run do 
  frame = Wx::Frame.new(nil, :title => "Minimal wxRuby App")
  frame.show
end

Gives this:
minimal/nothing.rb:13: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24) [i486-linux]

Aborted

I'm using 2.8.7.1, BUT I also have version 2.6.3.2 runtime installed for VLC.
I don't have the i18n package or the wx-common package installed.
As the the missing symbol, I don't know right now but I'll get back to you.
If it is of any significance, during installation it said the PrinterDC component would be skipped for some reason.

Thanks,
Lucas
