OK, so for some reason Ruby is not seeing the "fox.so" shared library, 
which on your system should have been installed to:

     D:\Programs\Coding\Ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.6\i586-mswin32

Is that file present? If it is, what do you get when you print the 
contents of Ruby's library path from irb:

     irb> $:
