I downloaded the all-in-one archive and unpacked it. I then did a cd to the libGUIb directory and [root at erie libGUIb]# ruby install.rb parsearg_config install.rb: entering config phase... ---> lib <--- lib install.rb: config done. parsearg_setup install.rb: entering setup phase... ---> lib <--- lib install.rb: setup done. parsearg_install parsearg_install!!! ARGV: install.rb: entering install phase... ---> lib mkdir -p /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/ install libGUIb14.rb /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/ install libGUIb16.rb /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/ <--- lib install.rb: install done. This looked good to me. I then copied the foxGUIb directory to the location I chose: /home/alan/Software and did a cd to that new directory location and tried to execute it: [alan at erie foxGUIb]$ ruby foxGUIb.rb /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/libGUIb16.rb:833: warning: `*'' interpreted as argument prefix please install libGUIb!! no such file to load -- fox16 The directory /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/ contains the following: facter gemconfigure.rb KDE libGUIb14.rb Qt rbconfig rubygems.rb facter.rb i386-linux Korundum.rb libGUIb16.rb Qt.rb rubygems ubygems.rb I don''t understand what is wrong or what I should do about it. Thanks for any help.

The list that this is posted to is fxruby-users at rubyforge.org. I
don''t
see any other list that I might post this on. I didn''t realize that
fxruby was a required install in addition to libGUIb and foxGUIb. So I
thank you. I still have a problem, though, in that it didn''t install
correctly, and I can''t tell why. I did the following:
[root at erie ~]# gem update fxruby --include-dependencies

No result was returned. gem_make.out is empty. The gem files are

of Fedora Core 6, if that helps.)

I did the following:<snip> Please see the FXRuby User''s Guide for build instructions: http://www.fxruby.org/doc/book.html I''m going to make an educated guess that you don''t have FOX installed yet. You can download FOX (version 1.6.x) from the FOX home page: http://www.fox-toolkit.org/ Be sure that you get one of the 1.6 releases. FOX 1.7 is the experimental "development" branch and is not yet supported by FXRuby.
