lyle,

i have a problem installing fxruby 1.6 gem on linux. the fox16.so
compiled fine. everything seems to be in its place but require "fox16"
doesn't seem to work.

henon at golem:~$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require "fox16"
=> false
irb(main):002:0> Fox
NameError: uninitialized constant Fox
        from (irb):2
irb(main):003:0> VERSION
=> "1.8.3"
irb(main):004:0>

here are the last lines of the gem installation process. it says that
there is nothing to do for make install. is this ok?

...

summary:
fox 1.6.5 compiled fine and examples worked.
fxruby 1.6 compiled without errors too.
just the require fails to load the library somehow...

any clues?

best wishes,
