This error message indicates that the FXScintilla support code was not 
compiled into FXRuby. I saw your previous post in which you said you 
found the configuration options to build FXScintilla support into 
FXRuby, but it clearly didn't "take".

All I can suggest is:

  1. Change to the build directory for FXRuby;

  2. Type 'ruby install.rb clean' to clean out the build files;

  3. Type 'ruby install.rb config [... options ...]'
     to configure the build, and be *sure* to pass in the
     '--with-fxscintilla-include' and '--with-fxscintilla-lib'
     options.

  4. Type 'ruby install.rb setup' to kick off the build.
     As a sanity check, be sure that '-DWITH_FXSCINTILLA'
     appears among flags being passed to the compiler.

  5. When it's done, re-install by typing 'ruby install.rb install'.

Hope this helps,
