Description:
The ruby bindings for wxgtk need the wxMediaCtrl class. Without this class the rubybindings wxruby which can be installed through rubygems don't work.

I also found some forum post complaining about this: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=60196 . It's a few month old but the problem still exists in most recent package version: 2.8.9.2-1.

Steps to reproduce:
Install the packages wxgtk,ruby,rubygems. And install wxruby with: sudo gem install wxruby. After that try to use the wxruby-libaries in a ruby application:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
$VERBOSE=true
require 'rubygems'
require 'wx'
..

will result in an error-messag complaining about not finding libwx_gtk2u_media-2.8.so .



Fix:
Configure wxgtk with the --enable-mediactrl flag. I attached a patch for the current PKGBUILD for wxgtk which fixes the issue.
   wxgtk_mediactrl.patch (0.7 KiB)
This task depends upon
