Just to let other people know, the package that contains libGL.so.1 in
gNewSense 2.1 is libgl1-mesa-swx11. But currently, this package won't
install libGL.so.1 because it got removed from the distribution when the GLX
licensing issues appeared.

I'll use wxRuby later, when OpenGL functionality returns to gNewSense.

Alex, thanks again for your help :)
