Okay - cleared off the old version of FxRuby, and the 1.6.4-2 install.

Installed Ruby 1.6.8-8 (which includes FxRuby)

the installation acknowledges fox when I require it now, but...

When I run the tutorial 'Hello.rb' from FreeRide:

     require 'fox' 
     include Fox 
     theApp = FXApp.new 
     theMainWindow = FXMainWindow.new(theApp, "Hello")
     theApp.create 
     theMainWindow.show 
     theApp.run

 I get a task bar entry labelled 'Hello', but no window.

p.s.  $: now returns:

["D:/PROGRAMS/CODING/RUBY/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6",
"D:/PROGRAMS/CODING/RUBY/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/i586-mswin32",
"D:/PROGRAMS/CODING/RUBY/lib/ruby/site_ruby",
"D:/PROGRAMS/CODING/RUBY/lib/ruby/1.6",
"D:/PROGRAMS/CODING/RUBY/lib/ruby/1.6/i586-mswin32", "."]
