Did you perhaps install the FOX library to some non-standard directory 
(by specifying a "--prefix" option to FOX's configure script)?

The error message means that the linker (ld) can't find the FOX library 
that you built and installed previously. According to the output you've 
shown, it is looking in the following directories:

     /usr/local/lib
     /usr/X11R6/lib
     /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/powerpc-darwin6.3

By default, the FOX library gets installed to /usr/local/lib. If you 
specified a different installation directory, that's OK too, but you 
need to tell the FXRuby build script about it by specifying the 
--with-fox-include and --with-fox-lib options, as shown here:

     http://www.fxruby.org/doc/build.html

Hope this helps,
