possibilities to test on linux too.

on linux it runs if you completely comment the following lines in FX.rb:626 out:

if Fox.constants.include? "FXScintilla"
	class Scintilla < Fox::FXScintilla
		def initialize(p, opts=0)
			super(p, nil, 0, opts)
		end
	end
else
	puts "Fox::FXScintilla not found! Substituting Fox::FXText."
	Scintilla = Text
end

ok.
the current download works with fxruby 1.2.6 on win32 (and linux if
you manually fix the previously mentioned problem). i am currently
working on the release for fxruby 1.4.4 which broke the replacement of
widgets.
