Subject: ubuntu fxruby problem


Greetings

On Windows XP I'm a happy user of the Fox toolkit through Lyle Johnsons 
excellent fxruby library. 

Now I'm trying to port some applications to linux(ubuntu 6.06, ruby
1.8.4 installed from ubuntu package), but face trouble with the fxruby 
gem.

I compiled and installed the latest stable fox-toolkit (1.6.16) from 
source. All fine.

I install the latest gem:
	
	 sudo gem install fxruby

All fine.



I try to run hello.rb, but it fails on require 'fox1.6'


	irb(main):001:0> require 'fox1.6'
	LoadError: no such file to load -- fox1.6
	        from (irb):1:in `require'
	        from (irb):1

Instead, I am able to use require_gem

	irb(main):002:0> require 'rubygems'
	=> true

	irb(main):003:0> require_gem 'fxruby'
	=> true

Unfortunately I'm not able to include the Fox module

	irb(main):004:0> include Fox
	NameError: uninitialized constant Fox
	        from (irb):4


Questions:
 i) On WinXP I use: require 'fox1.6', shall I really use 
    require_gem 'fxruby' on linux(ubuntu)

 ii) How can the include Fox problem be mended?


All the best
