I’ve got fox-1.6.20 up and running and tested. I’ve got fxscintilla-1.63 up and running and tested. I try to install fxruby-1.6.4 (both the gem and from raw source) and I can’t get it to compile. Both methods (gem and raw source) choke on the same spot with these errors: $ ruby install.rb config install.rb: entering config phase… —\> lib —\> lib/fox16 \<— lib/fox16 \<— lib —\> ext —\>
