I don't think this should be a problem, but I'm not sure.
The names of
the gems are automatically generated and they can cause
problems if they
are changed.
I make the linux gems on Ubuntu 7.4 and if someone could
tell me how to
get it make i386-linux or similar I'd be happy to do that.

wxRuby's library and samples will be installed in
path/to/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/gems/wxruby-1.9.1/ eg
/usr/local/lib/ruby/...
You don't need to add these paths anywhere.
As with any library being used from a gem, you need to tell
ruby to
allow libraries to be loaded by rubygems. There are several
ways to do
this, but briefly, you can do it on the command line:
ruby -rubygems my_wxruby_script.rb
or at the start of the ruby script, before you load wx
require 'rubygems'
require 'wx'
