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...

You're right, I realize just now that I should have upgraded FOX in  the
first place. Yet the installation just worked using configure-make-make  
install
for FOX and ruby setup.rb config etc.
 
I only upgraded in the first place because when I use FXRuby, I
quite frequently get Segmentation faults under Cygwin. This
happens for instance when calling foxGUib (in Linux, that's ok). I posted  
about
this already, and it seems that it's somehow the fault of FXRuby and Cygwin  
talking
together, but nobody knew anything more specific.

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

_http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?atid=1223&group_id=300&func=browse_ 
(http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?atid=1223&group_id=300&func=browse) 

I'll still experiment a bit to find out a good error description.... and  then
submit a bug report.
 
Thanks,

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