Well, don't suffer in silence! You have never sent me an e-mail about 
this problem, nor have you ever posted to ruby-talk or the fxruby-users 
mailing list. The installation instructions are included in the FXRuby 
documentation, here:

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

Can you let me know at which point you got stuck?

At the time that I added the information about installing FXRuby via 
raa-install, I too thought that it (the RAA Install database) was going 
to be maintained. This is unfortunately out of my control.

FXRuby has a support community in the form of the fxruby-users mailing 
list (shown prominently on the FXRuby home page) as well as the 
foxgui-users mailing list. And of course on ruby-talk ;)

Similarly, the wxRuby project has a users list, I know. Not sure about 
Ruby/GTK, but there are a lot of helpful people on ruby-talk using Ruby/GTK.
