fxruby users - Mar 2009 - cannot find -lXrandr during FXRuby install

Hi all,

I am looking for some help installing FXRuby 1.6.19 on a 64-bit RedHat VM.

I have installed Ruby 1.8.7 into an alternate path: /srv/ruby-1.8.7.
I have installed fox 1.6.35 under that alternate Ruby path.
But, when I try to install FXRuby, either via a gem or via source, the linker
reports the error:

cannot find -lXrandr

I found Xrandr libs in /usr/X11R6/lib & lib64.
Why is it that fox seems to find Xrandr, but FXRuby cannot?
I am pointing to the fox libs during the FXRuby build, i.e.

set path = ( . /srv/ruby-1.8.7/bin etc...)
ruby install.rb config -- --with-fox-include=/srv/ruby-1.8.7/include/fox-1.6
--with-fox-lib=/srv/ruby-1.8.7/lib

It''s as if the FXRuby build is clueless about the location of the X11
libs.
I can go in and hack the Makefile under the rug, but that just seems wrong.

What''s the best way to fix this?
Is there a way to pass in the X11 lib path to install.rb so that it creates the
Makefile correctly?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

cn

Chris,

Just wanted you to know that I''m not ignoring this---just
haven''t had
a chance to look into it yet. Will try to do so this weekend. I know  
that with gem installs you have some degree of control, e.g. by  
setting CFLAGS or LDFLAGS before starting the gem installation, but I  
don''t know that that works with this install.rb script.
