[fxruby-users] Problem with 1.4.2 on fc3

[Piet Hadermann]

Hi!

I've been trying to get fxruby 1.4.2 up and running, but unfortunately
with no succes so far.

My linux knowledge is still pretty basic (background in windows/c++/mfc
programming for a living... and further back on Amiga... but using linux
at home and for some none work-related projects) so I just hope I didn't
screw up something obvious.

I'm running fedora core 3, ruby 1.8.3 (2005-09-21) [i386-linux].

I installed from gems (after installing/compiling FOX itself) and get
the following:

irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> require 'fox14'
=> false

fox14.so is
at:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.4.2/ext/fox14/fox14.so

/usr/local/lib contains (amongst others):
libCHART-1.4.so         libFOX-1.4.a   libFOX-1.4.so.0
libCHART-1.4.a   libCHART-1.4.so.0       libFOX-1.4.la
libFOX-1.4.so.0.0.17
libCHART-1.4.la  libCHART-1.4.so.0.0.17  libFOX-1.4.so

gem check --alien gives me the following:
Performing the 'alien' operation
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Errno::ENOENT)
    No such file or directory
- /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.4.2/ext/fox14/scintilla_wrap.cpp

--> Does this mean I have to install scintilla (or fxscintilla ???)

I figured, since there's a fox14.so and a libFOX-1.4.so,
compiling/installing went ok, ar am I wrong here ?

Any help is mucho appreciated, thanks in advance!

Piet.
