Hi Rich,

Thanks for the response.  Now that I've got all the FXRuby stuff from Hal's
book working, I think my installation might be fine ... the main problem is
I didn't understand how the require/rubylib scheme fit together (and that
"require fox" is satisfied by fox.so in the bowel of the Ruby installation.)
So it appears that FXRuby is installed on my system.

Thanks for the link.  It appears that the original developent effort for
this tool was on SourceForge but has moved to RubyForge.

I think I downloaded a zip file from SourceForge and installed simply by
extracting into a suitable directory.  Since I manually unzipped,  my
environment was not set up properly.  Now with RUBYLIB set to
Ruby\site_ruby\1.8\fox,  things seem to be smoothe.

Do you think I can gain much by wiping out my installation and using the
installer from RubyForge?

Best wishes,
Richard
