Subject: This bonehead can't build FXRuby on RH7.2

So I managed to get Fox-0.99.189 compiled from source, but I cannot
seem to get FXRuby to cooperate.

I managed to get over the "Too many arguments to function" hurtles
with the suggested patches to Ruby 1.6.7's ruby.h and intern.h, but
now it fails during compilation of FXRuby.cpp, viz,

g++ -fPIC -g -O2 -O0 -DSWIG_NOINCLUDE -Iinclude -I. -I/usr/local/pkgs/ruby-1.6.7/lib/ruby/1.6/i686-linux -I/usr/local/pkgs/FXRuby-0.99.189/ext/fox -I/usr/local/pkgs/ruby-1.6.7/include -DHAVE_SYS_TIME_H -DHAVE_SIGNAL_H   -I/usr/local/include/fox
-I/usr/local/include -c -o FXRuby.o FXRuby.cpp
