[wxruby-users] Preloading the wx libraries

[Mario Steele]

*mouth drops*  I never knew wxRuby was being used, or could even be used on
something like that little thing.  The problem with that, is you need to
initialize Wx::App only once.  Any attempt to use Wx::App more then once,
will cause the error your getting.  You could possibly setup a Client/Server
system, in which you create a dummy library, that replicates the
functionality of wxRuby, which actually communicates to the Server, to
create the windows, and such.  That would be the only way you would be able
to "Pre Load" the wxRuby library.

Sorry, that's about as much as I can help you with.

L8ers,
