OK, "cerr" should have been found in the C++ library (-lstdc++). You might
want to go back and watch the link step for fox.so (the Ruby extension, not
the basic FOX library) and make sure that -lstdc++ shows up somewhere in the
list of libraries linked into fox.so. You could also do a dependency check:

    ldd /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/sparc-solaris2.8/fox.so

and see if libstdc++.so is in there somewhere.

HTH,
