[wxruby-users] "undefined symbol" with wxRuby gem on Fedora Core 5...

[Jay McGavren]

I'm trying to test on platforms other than Windows, starting with my
Fedora Core 5 box.  I'm getting this error when trying to run the
Hello World script
(http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Hello_World):

    undefined symbol: gtk_widget_is_composited -
    /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby-1.9.4-x86-
    linux/lib/wxruby2.so (LoadError)

This happens with both the wxRuby 1.9.4 and 1.9.2 gems.  I'm not
really looking to build from source; I want the gem to auto-download
and "just work" for users of my full application.  Hopefully I'm just
missing something that can be downloaded via a package manager, which
I can include in installation instructions.  Can anyone advise?
