And that's what you should get ;-)  actually look to the upper left of 
your screen there should be the window but it'll be *small* resize it 
or...  add a button or something IN the window , i.e. try the next 
examples in the tutorial like:

require 'fox'
include Fox
theApp = FXApp.new
theMainWindow = FXMainWindow.new(theApp, "Hello")
FXButton.new(theMainWindow, "Hello, World! lots more text to make sure 
it shows")
theApp.create
theMainWindow.show
theApp.run

and that's it, now you should see the window with a long button with text.
