Hi Christos

Thanks for trying this out.

Here, instead of trying to install the code you built as a gem, run it 
locally from the directory you built wxruby2 in like this:

ruby -Ilib path/to/helloworld.rb

This will ensure that you're getting the newly-built SVN HEAD version. I 
tried running the tests again on a very similar setup (Ubuntu 8.04, 
built against the 2.8.7 version wx packages) and both run fine for me 
and exit cleanly.

I think what may be happening is that running with rubygems, you're 
getting the original 1.9.7 with the bugs you first reported.

cheers
