[wxruby-users] wxRuby 1.9.9 apps don't work (gNewSense 2.1)

[Luis Felipe Lopez Acevedo]

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 (
http://www.fsf.org/news/thank-you-sgi).

I was hopping to run wxRuby apps like I do with wxPython :(

But I'll check if I'm able to install libgl1-mesa.

Thanks for your help, Alex.
