The last time I looked at it, we were able to build FOX successfully (we 
did this at RubyConf). Since then (on your iBook) I was able to *build* 
the FXRuby shared library but it crashed the Ruby interpreter during 
initialization.

After searching the web for similar war stories I ran across a web page 
describing different releases of the Mac OS X developer tools, problems 
fixed for those releases, etc. One of those release notes made reference 
to a problem for loading dynamically linked C++ libraries with static 
global constructors (or something like that); it sounded like it might 
be related to the problem I was seeing with FXRuby. I think that at that 
point I asked you if you had the latest developer tools installed, and 
you were going to check up on that...

So the question is, were you able to get your hands on those (or are 
they freely available)?
