FXRuby 1.6 requires FOX 1.6.5 or later and won't work with FOX 1.4.33.
I'm a little curious about how you managed to compile FXRuby-1.6.0
against fox-1.4.33 in the first place...

Not sure, but it sounds like something you might want to file a bug
report about:

For the time being, I'd recommend backing off to FXRuby 1.4, which is
the stable release of FXRuby.
