Resurrecting this thread because I faced the same issue - the solution
is simply to go to fxruby's rubyforge download page:

http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=300&release_id=41247

And download fxruby-1.6.20-gem (the one labelled "any" rather than
"linux"). Manually downloading and installing this will recompile the
extension from source against ruby 1.9, rather than using the
fxruby-linux gem which is presumably compiled against ruby 1.8.
