You can check what version of wxRuby is being used by your program by 
looking at the value of Wx::WXRUBY_VERSION. It's printed out in the 
"About" box of the minimal sample.

Use gem uninstall, don't delete directly.

Make sure that you have the latest versions of rubygems installed then 
try installing wxruby-1.9.9 again.

gem --update system

OK. It might be worth posting a runnable sample of your code anyway. 
There may be something in there obvious that's not quite right - 
although wxRuby tries to raise an exception on incorrect use of the API, 
this isn't always possible. Or if there is a bug, it may still exist in 
the latest development version, in which case sample code will help us 
find it quicker.
