Lyle,

Following up on your suggestion...

"You might want to follow-up on the fxruby-users mailing list at some 
point; sometimes FXRuby questions can get lost in the shuffle here due 
to the high volume of messages on ruby-talk!'

I've installed libfox-1.6-dev, and after that attempted install of 
fxruby, with this result:

$ sudo gem install fxruby

I really cannot make sense of this. I'm hoping you can. At least it's a 
different problem than last time!

Thanks for any help you can offer.
