Subject: getting fox unit test runner to work

hi there,

sorry if the question seems dump but...

i have some unit tests that just work great

$ test/ILV_unittest.rb
Loaded suite test/ILV_unittest
Started
........................
Finished in 0.060136 seconds.

24 tests, 141 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors
$

they work both in ubuntu 10 and cygwin (windows XP). i'm happy with
this.

reading the doc I could see that there was supposed to be some way to
have the whoole thing handled by a nicer UI.

indeed :

$ test/ILV_unittest.rb --help
Test::Unit automatic runner.
Usage: test/ILV_unittest.rb [options] [-- untouched arguments]

    -r, --runner=RUNNER              Use the given RUNNER.
                                     (c[onsole], f[ox], g[tk], g[tk]2,
t[k])
    -n, --name=NAME                  Runs tests matching NAME.
                                     (patterns may be used).
    -t, --testcase=TESTCASE          Runs tests in TestCases matching
TESTCASE.
                                     (patterns may be used).
    -I, --load-path=DIR[:DIR...]     Appends directory list to
$LOAD_PATH.
    -v, --verbose=[LEVEL]            Set the output level (default is
verbose).
                                     (s[ilent], p[rogress], n[ormal],
v[erbose])
        --                           Stop processing options so that the
                                     remaining options will be passed to
the
                                     test.
    -h, --help                       Display this help.

Deprecated options:
        --console                    Console runner (use --runner).
        --gtk                        GTK runner (use --runner).
        --fox                        Fox runner (use --runner).


so --runner=fox should do the trick. However :

$ test/ILV_unittest.rb --runner=fox

It should be mentioned that I tried under cygwin first (but compiled Fox
lib failed unfortuantely so the fwruby gem would not install at all).
thus the reason why i tried with ubuntu just in case.
the weird thing is that i can have the fxruby example working on the
very same  Ubuntu setup...
out of the blue i tried with gtk libs
==> faced same error see above
and out of ideas, i saw some test-unit-runner-fox (the 0.0.1 wasn't very
appealing but since nothing was working...). i tried with
test-unit-runner-gtk but no luck


i'm out of ideas

anyone knows how i can get a unit test to be run with fox ? (or gtk)
basically with another runner than console?

thanks
