So, what can we do now? wxRuby's obviously not at fault, it's

a) pixman that is broken and
b) Debian/Ubuntu that ships broken wxWidgets packages

b) is marked as fixed for Oneiric, but I doubt wheather wxRuby will run
then, because of a) and a symbol lookup error I already described on
Launchpad (this would be c) then I think).

The pixman bug breaks wxRuby on nearly every recent Linux distribution,
and Debian/Ubuntu breaks it a second time due to their package
management, which is especially problementic because of their 
popularity.

To conclude: I'm worried about wxRuby's future, although it seems that
wxRuby can't do much about the mentioned problems.

As much as I would like to continue working on Hubboard (https://github.com/lukaszkorecki/Hubboard/) stuff like this makes me think that it should be OSX-only app.

I really wanted it to be usable at least on OSX and Linux because that's what most developers is using. However if wxRuby can't be easily distributed (or bundled with applications - like I did it in Hubboard) that defeats the whole point of using it.

Ruby's lack of a working crossplatform GUI lib (like wxPython) is a real problem - because of that Ruby will be considered a "webdev language" just like PHP.
