You've installed fox-1.2.0, or fox-1.0.x? It should be looking for a
file named "fxver.h" in the /usr/include/fox-1.2 subdirectory if
you've installed fox-1.2.0.

It probably never got that far (i.e. it died trying to configure the build).

I would hazard a guess that AEditor depends on the stable releases of
FOX and FXRuby (i.e. fox-1.0 and FXRuby-1.0) and not the unstable,
alpha release of FXRuby. But you should confirm this with Simon.
