Yeah, the whole Gentoo FreeRide/fxscintilla/fxruby/fox chain only works
at the 1.2 level of Fox. More recent Fox versions need some work. Part
of the problem was that quite a bit of gentle nudging was required to
get them all to compile with gcc 4.1.1. I haven't been able to get it
all to work at the 1.6 level; the latest "stable" fxscintilla only works
up to Fox 1.4 and the CVS fxscintilla didn't compile.

There are Gentoo bugzilla entries for most of this, but I don't know
about any of the other distros. I'll take another stab at getting it all
to work this coming weekend.
