Gem files will remain installed in
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.11 for inspection.
Results logged to
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.11/ext/fox16/gem_make.out

I also tried with source package but with no luck.
Some info:
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-06-07 patchlevel 36) [i686-linux]
gem 0.9.4
fox 1.6.27
gcc 4.2.1

Any ideas?

This is a known bug in Ruby 1.8.6-p36; see the ruby-core thread that  
begins here:

	http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/11499

The bug is allegedly fixed in the Subversion repository for 1.8.6, so  
you can either downgrade to 1.8.6 (the original release, a.k.a. patch  
level 0) or check out the latest code from the 1.8.6 branch and use  
that.
