Installed the new Ruby installer on windows  
(rubyinstaller-1.9.1-p243-preview2.exe) then installed fxruby  
gem install fxruby.  
then ran ruby and on the statement  
require ‘fox16’  
get error:  
the application failed to start because libjpeg-7.dll was not found.

Any ideas?

Successfully installed fxruby-1.6.19-x86-mingw32
