Thanks for the advice. I confess I wasn't entirely surprised when the
rb-fxruby port didn't work for me:

Try 'ruby install.rb --help' for detailed usage.

I'm just reporting this FYI because I'm not planning to spend any more
time on this; I was only going to noodle about with Fox anyway and
messing with broken ports isn't my idea of fun.

If I ever switch to Leopard Ruby I will be sure to give your binary gem a whirl.

Regards,

Matt
