More then likely, wxruby is in the previous gem's directory, where you had
0.9.7 of rubygems installed.  If you poped off the /usr/local/bin and
/usr/local/sbin path from your PATH variable, and do a gem list --local,
you'll find wxruby is installed there, so you need to re-do the gem install
wxruby-2.0.0-universal-darwin-9.gem
