[fxruby-users] Problem using foxGUIb

[Alan Lake]

I, too, installed fxruby as a gem on a 64-bit machine running Fedora 
Core 6.  I have not yet been able to run Fox with Ruby and get the same 
error message.  Following Ernie's lead, I modified foxGUIb.rb, adding
    require "rubygems"
just before
    require "version"
It appears that I crashing on the first code in this file
    begin
      require FOXGUIB_LIBRARY
    rescue LoadError
      puts "please install libGUIb!!"
      puts $!
      exit
    end
I don't know enough about this code to know what FOXGUIB_LIBRARY 
contains, or what it's supposed to contain, but I do know that I have a 
successful install of the library.

Can someone advise me of the next step in resolving this problem?  Thanks.
