Subject: fxruby on cygwin...so close

So, after some trial and error I got the fox toolkit to compile under
cygwin using these configuration options:

    ./configure --without-xcursor --disable-shared --without-xrandr
    make && make install

I install fxruby with the usual 'gem install fxruby (choosing 'ruby
1.6.11'.  It gives one warning (which I don't think is significant):
    cc1: warning: command line option "-fpermissive" is valid for C++/
ObjC++ but not for C

It compiles happily, says it is install on the system:
    make install
    make: Nothing to be done for `install'.

    make clean
    Successfully installed fxruby-1.6.11
    Installing ri documentation for fxruby-1.6.11...
    Installing RDoc documentation for fxruby-1.6.11...

Then, when I go to use it in irb, I get this:
    irb(main):001:0> require 'fox16'
    LoadError: no such file to load -- fox16
        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:
27:in `gem_original_require'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:
27:in `requi
re'  from (irb):1

So, it appears that everything installs correctly, but the actual
fox16 file to require is missing somehow.  I am setup to use rubygems
(echo $RUBYOPT # -> rubygems).

Any ideas?
