I guess you just have to read the documentation very carefully. I get 
significantly better error messages on Ubuntu, however, eg:

> Wx::Font.new(20)
ArgumentError: Wrong arguments for overloaded method 'wxFont.new'.
Possible C/C++ prototypes are:
    wxFont.new()
    wxFont.new(int pointSize, int family, int style, int weight, bool 
const underline, wxString const &faceName, wxFontEncoding encoding)
