It has worked for me in the past, under a different gentoo 
installation...I can only imagine I've got something weird going on, 
dependency-wise. :(

Nope. I do 'require "fox"' and it immediately hangs.

Unfortunately, with RubyConf looming, I don't have any more time to 
spend on this, and not being a "gui-guy", I probably won't spend much 
time on it after the conference either. If anyone is able to duplicate 
the problem and find a solution, I'd be very interested in hearing about 
it, though.
