Alex,

I don''t quite know how to answer your question, because I''m
confused
about what Eclipse has to do with any of this.

Let''s start with some basic information:

When you say you downloaded the "FXRuby package", what do you mean?
What was the name of the file, and where did you get it? Did you
follow the installation instructions found in the Users'' Guide?

    http://www.fxruby.org/doc/book.html

What operating system are you using, and which version of Ruby? And
what does Eclipse have to do with any of this?

Thanks,

Lyle

Reading between the lines, it sounds like you''re somewhat
uncomfortable working with the command line in Linux, so yes, I think
you''re probably better off running it under Windows. There''s a
one-click installer for Ruby, which you can download here:

    http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyinstaller/

and it includes FXRuby as part of its installation. So that should
work out of the box.

OK. I don''t know anything about how Eclipse''s Ruby integration
works,
so I can''t really help you there.
