Seeing the announcement of the book I thought I'd take another look at
Fox. In the past I'd always hit installation problems with Fox so the
binary gem sounded promising.

I installed the current gem (fxruby (1.6.14)) but:

Siona:~ matt$ irb
>> require 'rubygems'
=> false
>> require 'fox16'
/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.14-universal-darwin-9/ext/fox16/fox16.bundle:
[BUG] Bus Error
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-23) [i686-darwin9.1.0]

Abort trap
Siona:~ matt$

This is 10.5.2 with ports ruby:

Siona:~ matt$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-23 patchlevel 110) [i686-darwin9.1.0]

Regards,

Matt
