Subject: foxGUIb - status?

This project - "a GUI creator and code generator for FXRuby" - looks 
promising, but...
* no posts to this list re foxGUIb since 09.12.2006
* forum 
(http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/fox-tool-users/2006-September/date.html) 
has had no posts since same month.
* downloads page has had no updates since June 2006.

Is it dead?

It sure is for me, since I can't get the install to launch. This is 
supposed to be a fully self-contained package (with it's own ruby). It 
comes with two directories -
* libGUIb - The instructions say to install this first - has ruby, etc. 
No way of offered to skip this step, so I didn't:

$ sudo ruby install.rb
[sudo] password for tom:
parsearg_config
install.rb: entering config phase...
---> lib
<--- lib
install.rb: config done.
parsearg_setup
install.rb: entering setup phase...
---> lib
<--- lib
install.rb: setup done.
parsearg_install
parsearg_install!!! ARGV:
install.rb: entering install phase...
---> lib
mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/
install libGUIb14.rb /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/
install libGUIb16.rb /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/
<--- lib
install.rb: install done.

* foxGUIb - regarding this directory, the instructions say simply 
"install foxGUIb: you can copy foxGUIb's directory where ever you want 
to." I read everything I could find, to shed light on what this second 
"install" is supposed to be. Couldn't find a clarification. In the root 
of this dir there is one, only, *.rb fle - foxGUIb.rb, so...

$ ruby foxGUIb.rb
please install libGUIb!!
no such file to load -- fox16

Very confusing. I just installed libGUIb.

Any and all information / help anyone can provide would be appreciated.

Thanks,

t.
