I don't know if this will make a difference, but what if you specify 
the full path to those directories, i.e.

	gem install fxruby-1.2.6.gem -- 
--with-fxscintilla-include=/home/fred/local/include/fxscintilla 
--with-fxscintilla-lib=/home/fred/local/lib

I just tried a quick test with the FXScintilla files installed 
non-standard places and it worked OK.

Hope this helps,
