Creating GUI applications with Ruby 1.9.1

[Alpha Blue]

I could not agree more. After trying to make an application with Ruby/
Tk I've switched to WxRuby which works equally well under the Linux
and Windows and Ruby 1.8.6 and 1.9.1.

I'll look into that as well.

I liked the look of wxruby as well so I went ahead and installed the
gem.

After trying an irb -> require test i receive:


C:\Users\Joel>irb

I'll try the 1.9.1 installer file with wxruby..

1.9.1 installer for patch 243 with wxruby works fine. I'm using that so
no help needed.
